Lamentations 4:5-7
King James Version
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

Lamentaciones 4:5-7
La Biblia de las Américas
5 Los que comían manjares
andan desolados por las calles(A);
los que se criaron entre púrpura[a]
abrazan estercoleros[b].
6 La iniquidad de la hija de mi pueblo
es mayor que el pecado de Sodoma(B),
que fue derribada(C) en un instante
sin que manos actuaran contra[c] ella.
7 Sus consagrados[d] eran más puros que la nieve(D),
más blancos que la leche,
más rojizos de cuerpo[e] que los corales,
como el zafiro(E) su apariencia.

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.

EasyEnglish Bible
5 There are people here who had been very rich.
They ate the best foods, but now they are hungry.
Now they lie in the streets with nothing to eat.
They wore the best clothes, but now they sit in the ashes.
6 God has punished my people.
He punished us more than he punished Sodom's people.
God destroyed that city in a moment, and nobody was there to help them.[a]
7 In past times, the leaders of Jerusalem were more pure than very white snow.
They were strong and healthy.
Their bodies seemed to shine like valuable stones.
