Lamentations 4:6 in context

  1. 4The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst.
    The young children ask bread,
    and no one breaks it for them.
  2. 5Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets.
    Those who were brought up in purple embrace dunghills.
  3. 6For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
    which was overthrown as in a moment.
    No hands were laid on her.
  4. 7Her nobles were purer than snow.
    They were whiter than milk.
    They were more ruddy in body than rubies.
    Their polishing was like sapphire.
  5. 8Their appearance is blacker than a coal.
    They are not known in the streets.
    Their skin clings to their bones.
    It is withered.
    It has become like a stick.
