Lamentations 4:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ The guilt of the daughter of my people was greater than the sin of Sodom,
    which was overthrown in a moment, though no hands turned against her.
⁷ Her consecrated ones^[a] were brighter than snow. They were whiter than milk.
    Their bones were redder than rubies; their facets shined like sapphires.
⁸ Now their faces have become the darkest black. They cannot be recognized in the streets.
    Their skin has shriveled on their bones. It is as dry as a stick of wood.
