Lamentations 4:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible

Daleth

4 The (A)tongue of the nursing baby cleaves
To the roof of its mouth because of (B)thirst;
The infants (C)ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.

He

5 Those who ate (D)delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those [a]reared in crimson
Embrace ash pits.

Vav

6 So the [b]iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the [c](E)sin of Sodom,
Which was (F)overthrown as in a moment,
And no hands [d]whirled toward her.
