Lamentations:4:6-11
rsv@Lamentations:4:6 @ For the chastisement of the daughter of my people has been greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, no hand being laid on it.
rsv@Lamentations:4:7 @ Her princes were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than coral, the beauty of their form was like sapphire.
rsv@Lamentations:4:8 @ Now their visage is blacker than soot, they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled upon their bones, it has become as dry as wood.
rsv@Lamentations:4:9 @ Happier were the victims of the sword than the victims of hunger, who pined away, stricken by want of the fruits of the field.
rsv@Lamentations:4:10 @ The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
rsv@Lamentations:4:11 @ The LORD gave full vent to his wrath, he poured out his hot anger; and he kindled a fire in Zion, which consumed its foundations.
