Lamentations 4:7-11

CAB(i) 7 ( { ζ}) ZAIN. Her Nazarites were made purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were purified as with fire, their polishing was superior to sapphire stone. 8 ( { η}) HETH. Their countenance has become blacker than smoke; they are not known in the streets: their skin has cleaved to their bones; they are withered, they have become as a stick. 9 ( { θ}) TETH. The slain with the sword were better than they that were slain with hunger; they have departed, pierced through from lack of the fruits of the field. 10 ( { ι}) JOD. The hands of tender hearted women have boiled their own children; they became meat for them in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 11 ( { λ}) CHAPH. The Lord has accomplished His wrath; He has poured out fierce anger, and has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured her foundations.
