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.
5. Those who once ate delicaciesare desolate in the streets;those who were brought up in scarletembrace ash heaps.
6. For the iniquity of the daughter of my peopleis greater than the sin of Sodom,which was overthrown in a moment,and no hands were wrung for her.
7. Her princes were purer than snow,whiter than milk;their bodies were more ruddy than rubies,their appearance like sapphire.
