Lamentations 4 New International Version - UK (NIVUK)4 [a]How the gold has lost its lustre, 2 How the precious children of Zion, 3 Even jackals offer their breasts 4 Because of thirst the infant’s tongue 5 Those who once ate delicacies 6 The punishment of my people 7 Their princes were brighter than snow 8 But now they are blacker than soot; 9 Those killed by the sword are better off 10 With their own hands compassionate women 11 The Lord has given full vent to his wrath; 12 The kings of the earth did not believe, 13 But it happened because of the sins of her prophets 14 Now they grope through the streets 15 ‘Go away! You are unclean!’ people cry to them. 16 The Lord himself has scattered them; 17 Moreover, our eyes failed, 18 People stalked us at every step, 19 Our pursuers were swifter 20 The Lord’s anointed, our very life breath, 21 Rejoice and be glad, Daughter Edom, 22 Your punishment will end, Daughter Zion; Footnotes:
