Lamentations 4:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Those who once ate gourmet food now tremble in the streets.
Those who wore the finest purple clothes now cling to piles of garbage.
6 Greater was the punishment[a] of the daughter of my people than Sodom’s penalty,[b]
which was quickly overthrown without any hand-wringing.[c]
7 Her nazirites were purer than snow; they were more dazzling than milk.
Their limbs were redder than coral; their bodies were sapphire.
