Lamentations 4 📜 📕 ↷
4 Daleth. The tongue of the suckling hath cloven to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the little ones have asked bread, and there was none that brake it unto them.📜💬📚
5 He. They that fed voluptuously, have died in the ways: they that were brought up in scarlet, have embraced the dung.📜💬📚
6 Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is become greater than the sin of Sodom: which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took nothing in her.📜💬📚
7 Zain. Her Nazareites whiter than snow, purer than milk, ruddier than the old ivory, fairer than the sapphire.📜💬📚
8 Heth. Their face is made blacker than coals, and they are not known in the streets: their skin hath cloven to their bones, it is withered, and is made as wood.📜💬📚
9 Teth. It was better with them that were slain with the sword, than with them that were killed by famine: because these pined away consumed by the barrenness of the country.📜💬📚
10 Jod. The hands of pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were made their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.📜💬📚
