Lamentations 4:1-3
International Standard Version
Zion’s Punishment
4 How tarnished the gold has become,
the finest gold debased!
Sacred stones[a] have been scattered
at every street corner.
2 Though the precious people of Zion
were like fine gold,
how they are valued like clay vessels,
the handiwork of a potter!
3 Even wild animals nurse,
suckling their young;
but the women of my people are cruel,
like ostriches in the wilderness.
