Lamentations 4:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ Even ^(A)jackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people has proved herself ^(B)cruel,
Like ^(C)ostriches in the wilderness.
⁴ The ^(D)tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth because of ^(E)thirst;
The children ^(F)ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
⁵ Those who used to eat ^(G)delicacies
Are made to tremble in the streets;
Those who were raised in crimson clothing
Embrace garbage heaps.
