Lamentations 4:3-12

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.

11Jehovah hath accomplished his fury; he hath pouredH8210 out his fierce angerH639, and hath kindledH3341 a fireH784 in ZionH6726, which hath consumedH398 the foundationsH3247 thereof.

12The kingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, would not have believedH539 that the adversary and the enemyH341 should enter into the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
