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.

Lamentations 4:6-8
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.
