Lamentations 4:7-11

7Her nobles were purerH2141 than snowH7950, they were whiterH6705 than milkH2461, they were more ruddyH119 in bodyH6106 than rubies, their polishingH1508 was as of sapphireH5601:

8Their visage is blackerH2821 thanH3808 a coal; they are notH3808 knownH3808 in the streetsH2351: their skinH5785 cleaveth to their bonesH6106; it is witheredH3001, it is becomeH1961 like a stickH6086.

9They that be slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are betterH2896 thanH2896 they that be slainH2491 with hungerH7458; for theseH1992 pineH2100 awayH2100, strickenH1856 throughH1856, for want of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704.

10The handsH3027 of the pitiful womenH802 have sodden their ownH1961 childrenH3206; they were their meat in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.

11The LORDH3068 hath accomplishedH3615 his furyH2534, he hath pouredH8210 outH8210 his fierceH2740 angerH639; and he hath kindledH3341 a fireH784 in ZionH6726, whichH784 hath devouredH398 the foundationsH3247 thereof.
