Lamentations 4:5-8 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. The ones who eat delicacies, they are ruined in the streets; the ones nurtured in purple lie on piles of trash.

6. The iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom; it was overthrown in a moment and no hands were laid on her.

7. Her princes were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than rubies, sapphire their appearance.

8. Now their appearance is blacker than soot, they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones, it has become dry like wood.
