Lamentations 4:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Greater was the punishment^[a] of the daughter of my people than Sodom’s penalty,^[b]
    which was quickly overthrown without any hand-wringing.^[c]

⁷ Her nazirites were purer than snow; they were more dazzling than milk.
Their limbs were redder than coral; their bodies were sapphire.

⁸ But their appearance grew darker than soot; they weren’t recognized in the streets.
Their skin shriveled on their bones; it became dry like wood.
