Lamentations 4:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Even the dragons [a]draw out the breasts, and give suck to their young: but the daughter of my people is become cruel like the [b]ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, but no man breaketh it unto them.
5 They that did feed delicately, perish in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet, embrace the dung.
