Lamentations 2:12
12 They cry to their mothers,a“Where is bread and wine?”
bas they faint like a wounded man
in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
on their mothers’ bosom.
Lamentations 2:21
21 In the dust of the streetsclie the young and the old;
dmy young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
eyou have killed them in the day of your anger,
slaughtering fwithout pity.
Lamentations 4:7-8
7 Her princes were purer than snow,whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
the beauty of their form ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
was like sapphire. ▼▼Hebrew lapis lazuli
8 iNow their face is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets;
their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as wood.
Lamentations 5:10
10 jOur skin is hot as an ovenwith kthe burning heat of famine.
