Lamentations 4:5-7
New King James Version
5 Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
(A)Embrace ash heaps.
6 The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the punishment of the (B)sin of Sodom,
Which was (C)overthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
7 Her [a]Nazirites were [b]brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their [c]appearance.

Lamentations 4:5-7
New International Version
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(A)
now lie on ash heaps.(B)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(C)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
