NASB
"Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits."
— Lamentations 4:5, NASB
“They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.”
“They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. ”
“Those who did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: Those who were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.”
“ה(He) Those who once feasted on delicacies are now starving to death in the streets. Those who grew up wearing expensive clothes are now dying amid garbage.”
“He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung.”
“Those who were used to feasting on delicate food are wasted in the streets: those who as children were dressed in purple are stretched out on the dust.”
“They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.”
The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against fine gold, How they are regarded as earthen jars, The work of a potter's hands!
Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness.
The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.
Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits.
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, And no hands were turned toward her.
Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than corals, Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.
Their appearance is blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood.
