| LamentationsChapter 4 | 
| 1 HOW is the fine gold rejected! how is the lovely color faded! the stones of the sanctuary are thrown down at the head of every street. | 
| 2 The precious sons of Zion, who were better than precious stones, how are they esteemed as earthen pots, the work of the hands of the potter! | 
| 3 The women uncover their breasts like jackals, they give suck to their young ones; the daughters of my people have become like wounds that cannot be healed and like ostriches in the wilderness. | 
| 4 The tongue of the suckling child cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst; the children ask bread, but no one breaks the loaf and gives it to them. | 
| 5 Those that fed on delicacies are destitute in the streets; those who were reared in scarlet sleep in dunghills. | 
| 6 For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment and no hands were weary in destroying it. | 
| 7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; their cheeks were more ruddy than rubies, and their form more beautiful than sapphires. | 
| 8 But now their visage is blacker than charcoal; they are not recognized in the streets; their skin is shriveled on their bones; it has dried up and it has become like a stick. | 
| 9 Those who were slain by the sword are better than those who are slain with hunger; for these pine away, like those who are wounded and thrown in the field. | 
| 10 The hands of compassionate women have cooked their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people. | 
| 11 The LORD has accomplished his fury; he has poured out his fierce anger and has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured the foundations thereof. | 
| 12 The kings of the earth did not believe, nor all the inhabitants of the world, that the enemy and the oppressor could come and enter into the gates of Jerusalem. | 
| 13 It happened for the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who have shed in the midst of her the blood of the righteous. | 
| 14 Her princes wander in her streets, they wallow in blood, so that no one could touch their garments. | 
| 15 Separate yourselves from them, call them unclean; depart, depart, do not touch them; for they have caused provocations and are troubled; among the Gentiles the people said, They shall no more sojourn there. | 
| 16 Our eyes have become dull waiting for help; our watchmen have watched in vain for a nation that could not save. | 
| 17 The presence of the LORD has divided them; he will no more regard them; they did not respect the persons of priests, they did not have compassion on the elders. | 
| 18 They hunt for the little people and for those who walk in the streets; our end is near, our days are finished, for our time is come. | 
| 19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the air; they chased us upon the mountains, they laid in wait for us in the wilderness. | 
| 20 Our very spirit, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we had said, Under his shadow we shall live among the Gentiles. | 
| 21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom that dwells in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass to you; you shall become drunken you shall be harassed. | 
| 22 Your iniquities have come to an end, O daughter of Zion; God will no more carry you away into captivity; but your iniquities will be punished, O daughter of Edom; your sins are well uncovered. |
