Lamentations 4:7-8

7Her 1consecrated ones were 2purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in 3body than corals, Their polishing was like 4 5lapis lazuli.8Their appearance is 6blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their 7skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood.
