Lamentations 4:5-7

Complete Jewish Bible

⁵ People who once ate only the best
lie dying in the streets;
those who were raised wearing purple
are clawing at piles of garbage.

⁶ For the offense of the daughter of my people
is greater than the sin of S’dom,
which was overthrown in an instant,
without a hand to help her.

⁷ Her princes were purer than snow;
they were whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than pink pearls,
as beautiful as sapphires.
