Lamentations 4:3-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
3
Even jackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But
the daughter of my people has proved herself cruel,
Like ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth because of thirst;
The children ask for bread,
But
no one breaks
it
for them.
5
Those who used to eat delicacies
Are made to tremble in the streets;
Those who were raised in crimson
clothing
Embrace garbage heaps.
6
For the wrongdoing 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.
King James Version
Chapter 4
3
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
5
They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6
For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
3
Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my dear people have become cruel
like ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The nursing baby’s tongue
clings to the roof of his mouth from thirst.
Infants beg for food,
but no one gives them any.
5
Those who used to eat delicacies
are destitute in the streets;
those who were reared in purple garments
huddle in trash heaps.
6
The punishment of my dear people
is greater than that of Sodom,
which was overthrown in an instant
without a hand laid on it.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
3
Even the jackals feed their young,
but not my people Israel.
They ignore their children’s cries,
like ostriches in the desert.
4
The parched tongues of their little ones
stick to the roofs of their mouths in thirst.
The children cry for bread,
but no one has any to give them.
5
The people who once ate the richest foods
now beg in the streets for anything they can get.
Those who once wore the finest clothes
now search the garbage dumps for food.
6
The guilt of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,
where utter disaster struck in a moment
and no hand offered help.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
3
Even jackals offer the breast;
they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the nursing infant sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
the children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.
5
Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
those who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps.
6
For the chastisement of the daughter of my people has been greater
than the punishment of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment,
and no hands were wrung for her.
New International Version
Chapter 4
3
Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.
4
Because of thirst the infant’s tongue
sticks to the roof of its mouth;
the children beg for bread,
but no one gives it to them.
5
Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple
now lie on ash heaps.
6
The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
3
Even the jackals present their breasts
To nurse their young;
But
the daughter of my people
is
cruel,
Like ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
The young children ask for bread,
But
no one breaks
it
for them.
5
Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
Embrace ash heaps.
6
The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
Which was overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
