Lamentations 4:1-3

World English Bible

4 How the gold has become dim!
    The most pure gold has changed!
The stones of the sanctuary are poured out
    at the head of every street.

² The precious sons of Zion,
    comparable to fine gold,
how they are esteemed as earthen pitchers,
    the work of the hands of the potter!

³ Even the jackals offer their breast.
    They nurse their young ones.
But the daughter of my people has become cruel,
    like the ostriches in the wilderness.
