1 H2091 How is the gold H6004 become dim! H2896 how is the most H3800 fine gold H8132 changed! H68 the stones H6944 of the sanctuary H8210 are poured out H7218 in the top H2351 of every street.

2 H3368 The precious H1121 sons H6726 of Zion, H5537 comparable H6337 to fine gold, H2803 how are they esteemed H2789 as earthen H5035 pitchers, H4639 the work H3027 of the hands H3335 of the potter!

3 H8577 Even the sea monsters H2502 draw out H7699 the breast, H3243 they give suck H1482 to their young ones: H1323 the daughter H5971 of my people H393 is become cruel, H3283 like the ostriches H4057 in the wilderness.

4 H3956 The tongue H3243 of the sucking child H1692 cleaves H2441 to the roof of his mouth H6772 for thirst: H5768 the young sons H7592 ask H3899 bread, H6566 and no man breaks it unto them.

5 H398 They that did feed H4574 delicately H8074 are desolate H2351 in the streets: H539 they that were brought up H8438 in scarlet H2263 embrace H830 dunghills.

6 H5771 For the punishment of the iniquity H1323 of the daughter H5971 of my people H1431 is greater H2403 than the punishment H5467 of the sin of Sodom, H2015 that was overthrown H7281 as in a moment, H3027 and no hands H2342 stayed on her.

7 H5139 Her Nazarites H2141 were purer H7950 than snow, H6705 they were whiter H2461 than milk, H119 they were more ruddy H6106 in body H6443 than rubies, H1508 their polishing H5601 was of sapphire:

8 H8389 Their visage H2821 is blacker H7815 than a coal; H5234 they are not known H2351 in the streets: H5785 their skin H6821 cleaves H6106 to their bones; H3001 it is withered, H6086 it is become like a stick.

9 H2491 They that be slain H2719 with the sword H2896 are better H2491 than they that be slain H7458 with hunger: H1992 for these H2100 pine away, H1856 stricken H8570 through for want of the fruits H7704 of the field.
