Lamentations 4:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 Those who ate delicacies have become desolate in the streets.
Those who were dressed in scarlet have embraced piles of trash.
6 The guilt of the daughter of my people was greater than the sin of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment, though no hands turned against her.
7 Her consecrated ones[a] were brighter than snow. They were whiter than milk.
Their bones were redder than rubies; their facets shined like sapphires.

their appearance like lapis lazuli.
