Lamentations 4:3-10

3Even the jackals offer the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their young; 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, no man breaketh it unto them.

5They that fed delicately are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351; they that were brought up in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dung-hills.

6And the punishmentH5771 of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the reward of the sinH2403 of SodomH5467, which was overthrown as in a momentH7281, and no handsH3027 were violently laid upon her.

7Her Nazarites were purer than snowH7950, whiter than milkH2461; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their figure was as sapphireH5601.

8Their visage isH1961 darker than blackness, they are not known in the streetsH2351; their skinH5785 cleaveth to their bonesH6106, it isH1961 witheredH3001, it isH1961 becomeH1961 like a stick.

9The slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are happier than the slainH2491 with hungerH7458; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704.

10The handsH3027 of pitiful womenH802 have boiledH1310 their own childrenH3206: they wereH1961 their meat in the ruinH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
