Lamentations 4:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 For the [a]wrongdoing of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the [b](A)sin of Sodom,
Which was (B)overthrown as in a moment,
[c]And no hands were turned toward her.
7 Her [d]consecrated ones were (C)purer than snow,
They shined more than milk;
They were more ruddy in [e]body than pearls of coral,
Their form was like [f](D)lapis lazuli.
8 Their appearance is (E)darker than soot,
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their (F)skin is shriveled on their bones,
It is dry, it has become like wood.

New International Version
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(A)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
