Lamentations 4:5-7
Contemporary English Version
Lamentations 4:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 All who ate expensive foods
lie starving in the streets;
those who grew up in luxury
now sit on trash heaps.
6 (A) My nation was punished worse
than the people of Sodom,
whose city was destroyed
in a flash without the help
of human hands.[a]
7 The leaders of Jerusalem
were purer than snow
and whiter than milk;
their bodies were healthy
and glowed like jewels.[b]
