American Standard Version
Lamentations 4:3-10
3Even the jackals draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones:The daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.4The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst:The young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.5They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets:They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.6For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her.7Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk;They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire.8Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets:Their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.9They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger;For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.10The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children;They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
