Lamentations 4:4-6
4The 1tongue of the infant clings To the roof of its mouth because of 2thirst; The children 3ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.5Those who used to eat 4delicacies Are made to tremble in the streets; Those who were raised in crimson clothing Embrace garbage heaps.6For the 5wrongdoing of the daughter of my people Is greater than the 67sin of Sodom, Which was 8overthrown as in a moment, 9And no hands were turned toward her.
