1 How the gold has become dim! The most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street. Lamentations 4:1WEB
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how they are esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! Lamentations 4:2WEB
3 Even the jackals offer their breast. They nurse their young ones. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. Lamentations 4:3WEB
4 The 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. Lamentations 4:4WEB

6 For 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. Lamentations 4:6WEB
7 Her nobles were purer than snow. They were whiter than milk. They were more ruddy in body than rubies. Their polishing was like sapphire. Lamentations 4:7WEB
8 Their 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 wood. Lamentations 4:8WEB
9 Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for lack of the fruits of the field. Lamentations 4:9WEB
10 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children. They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people. Lamentations 4:10WEB

13 It is because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her. Lamentations 4:13WEB
14 They wander as blind men in the streets. They are polluted with blood, So that men can’t touch their garments. Lamentations 4:14WEB
15 “Go away!” they cried to them. “Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, “They can’t live here any more.” Lamentations 4:15WEB
16 YHWH’s anger has scattered them. He will not pay attention to them any more. They didn’t respect the persons of the priests. They didn’t favor the elders. Lamentations 4:16WEB
17 Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save. Lamentations 4:17WEB
18 They hunt our steps, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come. Lamentations 4:18WEB
19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush for us in the wilderness. Lamentations 4:19WEB
20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of YHWH, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, under his shadow we will live among the nations. Lamentations 4:20WEB
