Lamentations 4:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 The precious sons of Zion,
Weighed against fine gold,
How they are regarded as (A)earthen jars,
The work of a potter’s hands!
3 Even (B)jackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people has become (C)cruel
Like (D)ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The (E)tongue of the infant cleaves
To the roof of its mouth because of (F)thirst;
The little ones (G)ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
Lamentations 4:2-4
New International Version
2 How the precious children of Zion,(A)
once worth their weight in gold,
are now considered as pots of clay,
the work of a potter’s hands!
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(B)
