Lamentations 4:3-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Even the jackals offer the breast
and nurse their young,
but my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.(A)
4 The tongue of the infant sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
the children beg for food,
but there is nothing for them.(B)
5 Those who feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
those who were brought up in purple
cling to ash heaps.
6 For the chastisement of my people has been greater
than the punishment of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,
though no hand was laid on it.[a](C)
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
their form cut like sapphire.[b](D)
8 Now their visage is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as wood.(E)
9 Happier were those pierced by the sword
than those pierced by hunger,
whose life drains away, deprived
of the produce of the field.(F)

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.
