Lamentations 4:1-6

1HowH349 is the goldH2091 become dim! howH349 is the most pure goldH2091 changed! The stonesH68 of the sanctuaryH6944 are pouredH8210 out at the headH7218 of every streetH2351.2The preciousH3368 sonsH1121 of ZionH6726, comparable to fine goldH6337, HowH349 are they esteemedH2803 as earthen pitchers, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the potterH3335!3Even the jackals draw out the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their young ones: The daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostriches in the wildernessH4057.4The tongueH3956 of the sucking childH5768 cleaveth to the roof of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: The young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and no man breaketh it unto them.5They that did feed delicately are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: They that were brought up in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dunghills.6For the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the sinH2403 of SodomH5467, That was overthrown as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 were laid upon her.
