Lamentations 4:4-10

ECB(i) 4 The tongue of the suckling adheres to his palate for thirst; the infants ask bread and no one spreads to them; 5 they who ate delicately desolate in the outways; those entrusted with scarlet embrace dunghills. 6 And the perversity of the daughter of my people greatens above the sin of Sodom - overturned as in a blink and no hands writhed over her. 7 Her Separatists were purified as snow - dazzling whiter than milk; their bones more reddened than pearls; their separatism of sapphire: 8 their form becomes darker than darkness - not recognized in the outways; their skin adheres to their bones - withers; becomes as wood. 9 Those pierced with the sword are better than those pierced with famine; for they flow away stabbed because of the produce of the field. 10 The hands of the mercied women stew their own children; they chew them in the breech of the daughter of my people.
