Lamentations 4:1-3

American Standard Version

4 How is the gold become dim! how is the most pure gold changed!
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
² The precious sons of Zion, ^[a]comparable to fine gold,
How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
³ Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones:
The daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
