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.

11 The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
aHe has poured out His fierce anger.
bHe kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations.

bHe kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations.
12 The kings of the earth,
And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
