Lamentations 4:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴ The tongue of the nursing infant ^(A)sticks
    to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
^(B)the children beg for food,
    but no one gives to them.

⁵ Those who once feasted on delicacies
    perish in the streets;
^(C)those who were brought up in purple
    embrace ash heaps.

^6 (D)For the chastisement^[a] of the daughter of my people has been greater
    than the punishment^[b] of Sodom,
^(E)which was overthrown in a moment,
    and no hands were wrung for her.^[c]
