Lamentations 4:3-12
3Even the sea monstersH8577 draw outH2502 the breastH7699, they nurseH3243 their young onesH1482: the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is become cruelH393, like the ostrichesH3283 in the wildernessH4057.1 4The tongueH3956 of the nursing childH3243 cleavethH1692 to the roof of his mouthH2441 for thirstH6772: the young childrenH5768 askH7592 breadH3899, and no man breakethH6566 it to them. 5They that fedH398 delicatelyH4574 are desolateH8074 in the streetsH2351: they that were brought upH539 in scarletH8438 embraceH2263 dunghillsH830. 6For the punishment of the iniquityH5771 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is greaterH1431 than the punishmentH2403 of the sin of SodomH5467, that was overthrownH2015 as in a momentH7281, with no handsH3027 laidH2342 on her.2 7Her NazaritesH5139 were purerH2141 than snowH7950, they were whiterH6705 than milkH2461, they were more ruddyH119 in bodyH6106 than rubiesH6443, their polishingH1508 was of sapphireH5601: 8Their visageH8389 is blackerH2821 than a coalH7815; they are not knownH5234 in the streetsH2351: their skinH5785 cleavethH6821 to their bonesH6106; it is witheredH3001, it is become like a stickH6086.3 9They that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719 are betterH2896 than they that are slainH2491 with hungerH7458: for theseH1992 pine awayH2100, strickenH1856 through for lack of the fruitsH8570 of the fieldH7704.4 10The handsH3027 of the tenderheartedH7362 womenH802 have boiledH1310 their own childrenH3206: they were their foodH1262 in the destructionH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. 11The LORDH3068 hath accomplishedH3615 his furyH2534; he hath poured outH8210 his fierceH2740 angerH639, and hath kindledH3341 a fireH784 in ZionH6726, and it hath devouredH398 its foundationsH3247. 12The kingsH4428 of the earthH776, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, would not have believedH539 that the adversaryH6862 and the enemyH341 should have enteredH935 into the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
