Lamentations 4:3-6
Lam.4.3-Lam.4.6
Explore this passage in the graph3Even jackals offer the breast;
they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness. 4The tongue of the nursing infant sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
the children beg for food,
but no one gives to them. 5Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
those who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps. 6For the chastisement of the daughter of my people has been greater
than the punishment of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,
and no hands were wrung for her. Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
