The Degradation of Zion
1 How the gold has become dim!
How changed the fine gold!
The stones of the sanctuary are1 scattered
At the head of every street.
How changed the fine gold!
The stones of the sanctuary are1 scattered
At the head of every street.
2 The precious sons of Zion,
1Valuable as fine gold,
How they are1 regarded aas clay pots,
The work of the hands of the potter!
1Valuable as fine gold,
How they are1 regarded aas clay pots,
The work of the hands of the potter!
3 Even the jackals present their breasts
To nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people is cruel,
aLike ostriches in the wilderness.
To nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people is cruel,
aLike ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
aThe young children ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
aThe 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
aEmbrace ash heaps.
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
aEmbrace ash heaps.
