Lamentations 4:1-11
How is the gold
<02091>
<02091>
[how] is the most
<02896>
<02896>
fine gold
<03800>
<03800>
the stones
<068>
<068>
of the sanctuary
<06944>
<06944>
in the top
<07218>
<07218>
of every street
<02351>_.
<02351>_.
The precious
<03368>
<03368>
sons
<01121>
<01121>
of Zion
<06726>_,
<06726>_,
to fine gold
<06337>_,
<06337>_,
as earthen
<02789>
<02789>
pitchers
<05035>_,
<05035>_,
the work
<04639>
<04639>
of the hands
<03027>
<03027>
Even the sea monsters
<08577>
<08577>
the breast
<07699>_,
<07699>_,
to their young ones
<01482>_:
<01482>_:
the daughter
<01323>
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
<05971>
[is become] cruel
<0393>_,
<0393>_,
like the ostriches
<03283>
<03283>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
{sea...: or, sea calves}<04057>_.
The tongue
<03956>
<03956>
to the roof of his mouth
<02441>
<02441>
for thirst
<06772>_:
<06772>_:
the young children
<05768>
<05768>
bread
<03899>_,
[it] unto them.<03899>_,
For the punishment of the iniquity
<05771>
<05771>
of the daughter
<01323>
<01323>
of my people
<05971>
<05971>
than the punishment
<02403>
<02403>
of the sin of Sodom
<05467>_,
<05467>_,
as in a moment
<07281>_,
<07281>_,
and no hands
<03027>
on her. {punishment of the iniquity: or, iniquity}<03027>
Her Nazarites
<05139>
<05139>
than snow
<07950>_,
<07950>_,
than milk
<02461>_,
<02461>_,
in body
<06106>
<06106>
than rubies
<06443>_,
<06443>_,
their polishing
<01508>
<01508>
[was] of sapphire
<05601>_:
<05601>_:
Their visage
<08389>
<08389>
than a coal
<07815>_;
<07815>_;
in the streets
<02351>_:
<02351>_:
their skin
<05785>
<05785>
to their bones
<06106>_;
<06106>_;
it is become like a stick
<06086>_.
{blacker...: Heb. darker than blackness}<06086>_.
[They that be] slain
<02491>
<02491>
with the sword
<02719>
<02719>
are better
<02896>
<02896>
than [they that be] slain
<02491>
<02491>
with hunger
<07458>_:
<07458>_:
for these
<01992>
<01992>
through for [want of] the fruits
<08570>
<08570>
of the field
<07704>_.
{pine...: Heb. flow out}<07704>_.
