Lamentations 4:1-3

Complete Jewish Bible

4 How the gold has lost its luster!
How the fine gold has changed!
How the stones of the sanctuary
lie scattered at every streetcorner!

² The precious sons of Tziyon,
as precious as fine gold —
to think they are now worth no more
than clay jars made by a potter!

³ Even jackals bare their breasts
in order to nurse their young,
but the daughters of my people have become as cruel
as ostriches in the desert.
