Lamentations 4:5-7
American Standard Version
Lamentations 4:5-7
American Standard Version
5 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets:
They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For [a]the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than [b]the sin of Sodom,
That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands [c]were laid upon her.
7 Her [d]nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than [e]rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire.
