American Standard Version
Lamentations 4:7-11
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.11Jehovah hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger;And he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.
