Lamentations 4:6-11

LEB(i) 6 The iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom; it was overthrown in a moment and no hands were laid on her. 7 Her princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than rubies, sapphire their appearance. 8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot, they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones, it has become dry like wood. 9 Happier were the victims of the sword than the victims of famine; they have pined away, very hungry for the crops of my field. 10 The hands of compassionate women, have cooked their children; they became as something to eat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 11 Yahweh has completed his anger, he has poured out his fierce anger;* he has kindled a fire in Zion, it consumed her* foundations.
