Lamentations 4:1-6

1HowH349 is the goldH2091 becomeH6004 dim! howH349 is the mostH6944 pureH2896 goldH2091 changedH8132! the stonesH68 of the sanctuaryH6944 are pouredH8210 outH8210 at the topH7218 of everyH3605 streetH2351.

2The preciousH3368 sonsH1121 of ZionH6726, comparable to fineH6337 goldH6337, howH349 are they esteemedH2803 as earthenH2789 pitchers, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of the potterH3335!

3EvenH1571 the jackals drawH3243 outH3243 the breastH7699, they give suckH3243 to their youngH1482 ones: the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostrichesH3283 in the wildernessH4057.

4The tongueH3956 of the sucking childH5768 cleaveth to the roofH2441 of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: the young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and noH369 manH369 breaketh it unto them.

5They that did feedH398 delicately are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: they that were brought upH5921 in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dung-hills.

6For the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 thanH3808 the sinH2403 of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, and noH3808 handsH3027 were laid uponH3027 herH1323.
