Is greater than the punishment of the asin of Sodom,
Which was boverthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
Is greater than the punishment of the asin of Sodom,
Which was boverthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
7 Her1 Nazirites were brighter than snow
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their1 appearance.
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their1 appearance.
8 Now their appearance is blacker than soot;
They go unrecognized in the streets;
aTheir skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
They go unrecognized in the streets;
aTheir skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
9 Those slain by the sword are better off
Than those who die of hunger;
For these apine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the bfield.
Than those who die of hunger;
For these apine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the bfield.
10 The hands of the acompassionate women
Have1 cooked their bown children;
They became cfood for them
In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Have1 cooked their bown children;
They became cfood for them
In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
