Vav

So the [a]iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the [b](A)sin of Sodom,
Which was (B)overthrown as in a moment,
And no hands [c]whirled toward her.

Zayin

Her [d]Nazirites were (C)purer than snow;
They were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in [e]body than corals,
Their polishing was like [f](D)lapis lazuli.

Heth

Their form is (E)blacker than soot;
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their (F)skin is shriveled on their bones;
It is withered, it has become like wood.
