Lamentations 4:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

4 How dim the gold has become? The most fine gold has changed. The stones of the Sanctuary are scattered in the corner of every street.

² The noble men of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how they are regarded as earthen pitchers, the work of the potter’s hands!

³ Even the dragons present their breasts to nurse their young; but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
