Lamentations 4:1-6
1HowH3491 the goldH2091 has become tarnishedH6004, the pureH2896 goldH3800 has become dullH8132! The gemsH68 of the templeH6944 lie scatteredH8210 on everyH3605 streetH2351 cornerH7218.
2HowH349 the preciousH3368 sonsH1121 of ZionH6726,once worth their weightH5537 in pure goldH6337,are now esteemedH2803 as jarsH5035 of clayH2789,the workH4639 of a potter’sH3335 handsH3027!
3EvenH1571 jackalsH85772 offerH2502 their breastsH7699to nurseH3243 their youngH1482,but the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 has become cruelH393,likeH3588 an ostrichH3283 in the wildernessH4057.
4The nursing infant’sH3243 tongueH3956clingsH1692 in thirstH6772 toH413 the roof of his mouthH2441.Little childrenH5768 beg forH7592 breadH3899,but noH369 one gives them anyH6566.
5Those who once ateH398 delicaciesH4574are destituteH8074 in the streetsH2351;those brought upH539 inH5921 crimsonH8438huddleH2263 in ash heapsH830.
6The punishmentH57713 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971is greaterH1431 thanH2403 that of SodomH5467,which was overthrownH2015 inH3644 an instantH7281withoutH3808 a handH3027 turned to helpH2342 her.
