Klagovisorna 4:6-8
Svenska Folkbibeln
Waw
6 Missgärningen hos dottern mitt folk
är större än Sodoms synd.
    Det omstörtades på ett ögonblick,
utan att människohänder rörde vid det.
Zajin
7 Hennes furstar var mer glänsande än snö,
de var vitare än mjölk,
    deras hy var rödare än korall,
deras utseende var likt safirens.
Heth
8 Nu har deras ansikten blivit mörkare än sot,
man känner inte igen dem på gatorna.
Deras hud sitter fastklibbad vid benen,
den har blivit torr som trä.
Lamentations 4:6-8
King James Version
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

Lamentations 4:6-8
New International Version
6 The punishment of my people
    is greater than that of Sodom,(A)
which was overthrown in a moment
    without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
    and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
    their appearance like lapis lazuli.
Lamentations 4:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)For the chastisement[a] of the daughter of my people has been greater
    than the punishment[b] of Sodom,
(B)which was overthrown in a moment,
    and no hands were wrung for her.[c]
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
    whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
    the beauty of their form[d] was like sapphire.[e]
8 (C)Now their face is blacker than soot;
    they are not recognized in the streets;
their skin has shriveled on their bones;
    it has become as dry as wood.
