Lamentations 4:3-9
New King James Version
3 Even the jackals present their breasts
To nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people is cruel,
(A)Like ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
(B)The young children ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
5 Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
(C)Embrace ash heaps.
6 The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the (D)sin of Sodom,
Which was (E)overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
7 Her [a]Nazirites were [b]brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their [c]appearance.
8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot;
They go unrecognized in the streets;
(F)Their skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
9 Those slain by the sword are better off
Than those who die of hunger;
For these (G)pine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the (H)field.
