Lamentations 4:3-6 New Century Version (NCV)

3. Even wild dogs give their milkto feed their young,but my people are cruellike ostriches in the desert.

4. The babies are so thirstytheir tongues stick to the roofs of their mouths.Children beg for bread,but no one gives them any.

5. Those who once ate fine foodsare now starving in the streets.People who grew up wearing nice clothesnow pick through trash piles.

6. My people have been punishedmore than Sodom was.Sodom was destroyed suddenly,and no hands reached out to help her.
