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.
