Lamentations 4:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 The tongue of the infant sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
the children beg for food,
but no one gives them anything.
5 Those who feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
those who were brought up in purple
cling to ash heaps.
6 For the chastisement[a] of my people has been greater
than the punishment[b] of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,
though no hand was laid on it.[c]
