Lamentations 4:1-3

Lexham English Bible

4 How the gold has grown dim,
the pure gold has changed.
The stones of holiness are scattered
    at the head of every street.
² The precious sons of Zion
    weighed against fine gold,
how they are thought of as earthen vessels of clay,
    the work of the potter’s hands.
³ Even the jackal bears the beast
    and nurses their cubs;
but the daughter of my people has become ruthless,
    like ostriches in the wilderness.
