Lamentations 4:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ז Zayin
7 Her dignitaries were brighter than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies[a] were more ruddy than coral,
their appearance like sapphire.[b]
ח Khet
8 Now they appear darker than soot;(A)
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become dry like wood.
ט Tet
9 Those slain by the sword are better off
than those slain by hunger,
who waste away, pierced with pain
because the fields lack produce.
