Lamentations 4:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ The nursing baby’s tongue
clings to the roof of his mouth from thirst.^(A)
Infants beg for food,
but no one gives them any.

⁵ Those who used to eat delicacies
are destitute in the streets;
those who were reared in purple garments^(B)
huddle in trash heaps.

⁶ The punishment of my dear people
is greater than that of Sodom,^(C)
which was overthrown in an instant
without a hand laid on it.
