To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
aThe young children ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
Are desolate in the streets;
Those who were brought up in scarlet
aEmbrace ash heaps.
Is greater than the punishment of the asin of Sodom,
Which was boverthrown in a moment,
With no hand to help her!
And whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than rubies,
Like sapphire in their1 appearance.
They go unrecognized in the streets;
aTheir skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
Than those who die of hunger;
For these apine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the bfield.
