Lamentations 4:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Even ·wild dogs [jackals] ·give their milk [^Lprepare the breast]
    to ·feed [suckle; nurse] their young,
but [^Lthe daughter of] my people are ·cruel [violent]
    like ostriches in the ·desert [wilderness; Job 39:14–16].

⁴ The ·babies [^Lnurslings] are so thirsty
    their tongues stick to ·the roofs of their mouths [^Ltheir palates].
Children ·beg [ask] for bread,
    but no one ·gives [offers] them any.

⁵ Those who once ate ·fine foods [delicacies; ^Cthe food of the rich; Prov. 23:3, 6]
    are ·now starving [^Ldesolate] in the streets.
People who ·grew up [were nurtured] ·wearing nice clothes [^Lin purple/or crimson; ^Cexpensive clothes often associated with royalty]
    now ·pick through [cling to] ·trash piles [ash heaps; 1 Sam. 2:8; Job 2:8; Ps. 113:7].
