Lamentations 4:4-10

The tongue
<03956>
of the sucking child
<03243> (8802)
cleaveth
<01692> (8804)
to the roof of his mouth
<02441>
for thirst
<06772>_:
the young children
<05768>
ask
<07592> (8804)
bread
<03899>_,
[and] no man breaketh
<06566> (8802)
[it] unto them.
They that did feed
<0398> (8802)
delicately
<04574>
are desolate
<08074> (8738)
in the streets
<02351>_:
they that were brought up
<0539> (8803)
in scarlet
<08438>
embrace
<02263> (8765)
dunghills
<0830>_.
For the punishment of the iniquity
<05771>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
is greater
<01431> (8799)
than the punishment
<02403>
of the sin of Sodom
<05467>_,
that was overthrown
<02015> (8803)
as in a moment
<07281>_,
and no hands
<03027>
stayed
<02342> (8804)
on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}
Her Nazarites
<05139>
were purer
<02141> (8804)
than snow
<07950>_,
they were whiter
<06705> (8804)
than milk
<02461>_,
they were more ruddy
<0119> (8804)
in body
<06106>
than rubies
<06443>_,
their polishing
<01508>
[was] of sapphire
<05601>_:
Their visage
<08389>
is blacker
<02821> (8804)
than a coal
<07815>_;
they are not known
<05234> (8738)
in the streets
<02351>_:
their skin
<05785>
cleaveth
<06821> (8804)
to their bones
<06106>_;
it is withered
<03001> (8804)_,
it is become like a stick
<06086>_.
{blacker...: Heb. darker than blackness}
[They that be] slain
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>
are better
<02896>
than [they that be] slain
<02491>
with hunger
<07458>_:
for these
<01992>
pine away
<02100> (8799)_,
stricken
<01856> (8794)
through for [want of] the fruits
<08570>
of the field
<07704>_.
{pine...: Heb. flow out}
The hands
<03027>
of the pitiful
<07362>
women
<0802>
have sodden
<01310> (8765)
their own children
<03206>_:
they were their meat
<01262> (8763)
in the destruction
<07667>
of the daughter
<01323>
of my people
<05971>_.
