Lamentations 4:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ The baby is so thirsty
    that his tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth.
Children beg for bread.
    But no one breaks off a piece to share with them.

⁵ Those who once ate fine foods
    are now starving in the streets.
The people who grew up wearing nice clothes
    now pick through trash piles.

⁶ My people have been punished
    more than Sodom was.
Sodom was destroyed suddenly.
    No hands reached out to help her.
