Lamentations 4:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Even the jackals offer the breast
and nurse their young,
but my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.(A)
4 The tongue of the infant sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
the children beg for food,
but there is nothing for them.(B)
5 Those who feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
those who were brought up in purple
cling to ash heaps.
Lamentations 4:3-5
New International Version
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(A)
