Lamentations 4:3-9
English Standard Version
3 Even jackals offer the breast;
they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the nursing infant (A)sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
(B)the children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.
5 Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
(C)those who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps.
6 (D)For the chastisement[a] of the daughter of my people has been greater
than the punishment[b] of Sodom,
(E)which was overthrown in a moment,
and no hands were wrung for her.[c]
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
the beauty of their form[d] was like sapphire.[e]
8 (F)Now their face 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.
9 Happier were the victims of the sword
than the victims of hunger,
who wasted away, pierced
by lack of the fruits of the field.
