Lamentations 4:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ Even the jackal bears the beast
    and nurses their cubs;
but the daughter of my people has become ruthless,
    like ostriches in the wilderness.
⁴ The tongue of the nursling cleaves
    to its palate in thirst.
Children beg for food,
    no one lays it out before them.^[a]
5 The ones who eat delicacies,
    they are ruined in the streets;
the ones nurtured in purple
    lie on piles of trash.
