Lamentations 4:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ The nursing child’s tongue
    cleaves to its palate from thirst.
Young children beg for bread,
    but no one gives them any.

⁵ Those who enjoyed delicacies
    lie desolate in the streets.
Those who were reared wearing purple
    scavenge in piles of trash.

⁶ The guilt of my cherished people surpasses the sin of Sodom,
    which was overthrown in a moment,
        without a hand to help her.
