Lamentations 4:7-11

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 stickH6086.1

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 fieldH7704.2

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.
