Lamentations 4:4-6

Tree of Life Version

⁴ The nursing infant’s tongue clings
    to the roof of his mouth for thirst.
Little children ask for bread,
    but no one gives it t0 them.
⁵ Those who used to eat delicacies
    are desolate in the streets.
Those who were brought up in purple
    embrace trash heaps.
⁶ For the iniquities of the daughter of my people
    is greater than the sin of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,^[a]
    yet no hands turned to her.
