New American Standard Bible
Lamentations 4:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Those who used to eat (A)delicacies
Are made to tremble in the streets;
Those who were raised in crimson clothing
Embrace garbage heaps.
6 For the [a]wrongdoing of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the [b](B)sin of Sodom,
Which was (C)overthrown as in a moment,
[c]And no hands were turned toward her.
7 Her [d]consecrated ones were (D)purer than snow,
They shined more than milk;
They were more ruddy in [e]body than pearls of coral,
Their form was like [f](E)lapis lazuli.

Lamentations 4:5-7
New International Version
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(A)
now lie on ash heaps.(B)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(C)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
