Lamentations 4:3 DBY

¹  How is the gold become dim! the most pure gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary poured out at the top of all the streets!

²  The sons of Zion, so precious, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

³  Even the jackals offer the breast, they give suck to their young; the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

⁴  The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst; the young children ask bread, no man breaketh it unto them.

⁵  They that fed delicately are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dung-hills.
