Lamentations 4:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ Those who once feasted on delicacies
    now lie dying in the streets.
Those who once wore purple garments
    now grovel in rubbish heaps.
⁶ The punishment inflicted on my people
    has been greater than that of Sodom,
which was overthrown in an instant
    without a hand being lifted to help her.
⁷ Her princes were once brighter than snow
    and whiter than milk.
Their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
    more precious than sapphire.
