Lamentations 4:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible

Zayin

7 Her [a]Nazirites were (A)purer than snow;
They were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in [b]body than corals,
Their polishing was like [c](B)lapis lazuli.

Heth

8 Their form is (C)blacker than soot;
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their (D)skin is shriveled on their bones;
It is withered, it has become like wood.

Teth

9 Better are those (E)pierced through with the sword
Than those pierced through with hunger;
For their life (F)flows away, being stricken
For lack of the produce of [d]the field.
