Lamentations 4:3-9
New Living Translation
Lamentations 4:3-9
New Living Translation
3 Even the jackals feed their young,
but not my people Israel.
They ignore their children’s cries,
like ostriches in the desert.
4 The parched tongues of their little ones
stick to the roofs of their mouths in thirst.
The children cry for bread,
but no one has any to give them.
5 The people who once ate the richest foods
now beg in the streets for anything they can get.
Those who once wore the finest clothes
now search the garbage dumps for food.
6 The guilt[a] of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,
where utter disaster struck in a moment
and no hand offered help.
7 Our princes once glowed with health—
brighter than snow, whiter than milk.
Their faces were as ruddy as rubies,
their appearance like fine jewels.[b]
8 But now their faces are blacker than soot.
No one recognizes them in the streets.
Their skin sticks to their bones;
it is as dry and hard as wood.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off
than those who die of hunger.
Starving, they waste away
for lack of food from the fields.

3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(A)
4 Because of thirst(B) the infant’s tongue
sticks to the roof of its mouth;(C)
the children beg for bread,
but no one gives it to them.(D)
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(E)
now lie on ash heaps.(F)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(G)
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.
