Lamentations 4:6-8
New King James Version
Lamentations 4:6-8
New King James Version
6 The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the (A)sin of Sodom,
Which was (B)overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
7 Her [a]Nazirites were [b]brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their [c]appearance.
8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot;
They go unrecognized in the streets;
(C)Their skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
