Lamentations 4:2-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

2. The precious sons of Zion,comparable to fine gold,how they are esteemed as earthen pots,the work of a potter’s hands!

3. Even the jackals offer the breast;they nurse their young,yet the daughter of my people has become cruel,like ostriches in the wilderness.

4. The tongue of the infant cleavesto the roof of his mouth for thirst;the children beg for bread,but no one divides it for them.
