Lamentations 4:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
their hair[a] like sapphire.[b]
8 Now their visage is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as wood.
9 Happier were those pierced by the sword
than those pierced by hunger,
whose life drains away, deprived
of the produce of the field.
