 | 4:1 | How is the gold2091 become dim!6004 how is the most2896 fine gold3800 changed!8132 the stones68 of the sanctuary6944 are poured out8210 in the top7218 of every street.2351 |
| 4:2 | The precious3368 sons1121 of Zion,6726 comparable5537 to fine gold,6337 how are they esteemed2803 as earthen2789 pitchers,5035 the work4639 of the hands3027 of the potter!3335 |
| 4:3 | Even the sea monsters8577 draw out2502 the breast,7699 they give suck3243 to their young ones:1484 the daughter1323 of my people5971 is become cruel,393 like the ostriches3283 in the wilderness.4057 |
| 4:4 | The tongue3956 of the sucking child3243 cleaveth1692 to the roof of his mouth2441 for thirst:6772 the young children5768 ask7592 bread,3899 and no man breaketh6566 it unto them. |
| 4:5 | They that did feed398 delicately4574 are desolate8074 in the streets:2351 they that were brought up539 in scarlet8438 embrace2263 dunghills.830 |
| 4:6 | For the punishment of the iniquity5771 of the daughter1323 of my people5971 is greater1431 than the punishment2403 of the sin of Sodom,5467 that was overthrown2015 as in a moment,7281 and no hands3027 stayed2342 on her. |
| 4:7 | Her Nazarites5139 were purer2141 than snow,7950 they were whiter6705 than milk,2461 they were more ruddy119 in body6106 than rubies,6443 their polishing1508 was of sapphire:5601 |
| 4:8 | Their visage8389 is blacker2821 than a coal;7815 they are not known5234 in the streets:2351 their skin5785 cleaveth6821 to their bones;6106 it is withered,3001 it is become like a stick.6086 |
| 4:9 | They that be slain2491 with the sword2719 are better2896 than they that be slain2491 with hunger:7458 for these1992 pine away,2100 stricken through1856 for want of the fruits8570 of the field.7704 |
| 4:10 | The hands3027 of the pitiful7362 women802 have sodden1310 their own children:3206 they were their meat1262 in the destruction7667 of the daughter1323 of my people.5971 |

| 4:12 | The kings4428 of the earth,776 and all the inhabitants3427 of the world,8398 would not have believed539 that the adversary6862 and the enemy341 should have entered935 into the gates8179 of Jerusalem.3389 |
| 4:13 | For the sins2403 of her prophets,5030 and the iniquities5771 of her priests,3548 that have shed8210 the blood1818 of the just6662 in the midst7130 of her, |
| 4:14 | They have wandered5128 as blind5787 men in the streets,2351 they have polluted1351 themselves with blood,1818 so that men could3201 not3808 touch5060 their garments.3830 |
| 4:15 | They cried7121 unto them, Depart5493 ye; it is unclean;2931 depart,5493 depart,5493 touch5060 not: when they fled away5132 and wandered,5128 they said559 among the heathen,1471 They shall no more3254 sojourn1481 there. |
| 4:16 | The anger6440 of Yahweh3068 hath divided2505 them; he will no more3254 regard5027 them: they respected5375 not the persons6440 of the priests,3548 they favoured2603 not the elders.2205 |

| 4:19 | Our persecutors7291 are swifter7031 than the eagles5404 of the heaven:8064 they pursued1814 us upon the mountains,2022 they laid wait693 for us in the wilderness.4057 |
| 4:20 | The breath7307 of our nostrils,639 the anointed4899 of Yahweh,3068 was taken3920 in their pits,7825 of whom we said,559 Under his shadow6738 we shall live2421 among the heathen.1471 |
| 4:21 | Rejoice7797 and be glad,8055 O daughter1323 of Edom,123 that dwellest3427 in the land776 of Uz;5780 the cup3563 also shall pass5674 through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken,7937 and shalt make thyself naked.6168 |
