nkjv Lamentations:4:4-9
nkjv@Lamentations:4:4 @ The tongue of the infant clings To the roof of its mouth for thirst; The young children ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.
nkjv@Lamentations:4:5 @ Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those who were brought up in scarlet Embrace ash heaps.
nkjv@Lamentations:4:6 @ The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown in a moment, With no hand to help her!
nkjv@Lamentations:4:7 @ Her Nazirites were brighter than snow And whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, Like sapphire in their appearance.
nkjv@Lamentations:4:8 @ Now their appearance is blacker than soot; They go unrecognized in the streets; Their skin clings to their bones, It has become as dry as wood.
nkjv@Lamentations:4:9 @ Those slain by the sword are better off Than those who die of hunger; For these pine away, Stricken for lack of the fruits of the field.
