Lamentations 4:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ For the iniquities of the daughter of my people
    is greater than the sin of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,^[a]
    yet no hands turned to her.
⁷ Purer than snow were her princes,^[b]
    whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
    their appearance like sapphire.
⁸ Their form has become darker than soot!
    They are not recognized in the street.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones,
    withered like a tree.
