Lamentations 4:2-4
Christian Standard Bible
ב Beth
2 Zion’s precious children—
once worth their weight in pure gold(A)—
how they are regarded as clay jars,
the work of a potter’s hands!
ג Gimel
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my dear people have become cruel
like ostriches(B) in the wilderness.
ד Daleth
4 The nursing baby’s tongue
clings to the roof of his mouth from thirst.(C)
Infants beg for food,
but no one gives them any.
