Lamentations 4:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Those who once ate fine foods
    are now starving in the streets.
People who grew up wearing nice clothes
    now pick through trash piles.

⁶ My people have been punished
    more than Sodom was.
Sodom was destroyed suddenly,
    and no hands reached out to help her.

⁷ Our princes were purer than snow,
    and whiter than milk.
Their bodies were redder than rubies;
    they looked like sapphires.
