Webster_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

2 H3368 The precious H1121 sons H6726 of Zion H5537 [H8794] , comparable H6337 to fine gold H2803 [H8738] , how are they esteemed H2789 as earthen H5035 pitchers H4639 , the work H3027 of the hands H3335 [H8802] of the potter!

3 H8577 Even the sea monsters H2502 [H8804] draw out H7699 the breast H3243 [H8689] , they nurse H1482 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 [H8802] of the nursing child H1692 [H8804] cleaveth H2441 to the roof of his mouth H6772 for thirst H5768 : the young children H7592 [H8804] ask H3899 bread H6566 [H8802] , and no man breaketh it to them.

5 H398 [H8802] They that fed H4574 delicately H8074 [H8738] are desolate H2351 in the streets H539 [H8803] : they that were brought up H8438 in scarlet H2263 [H8765] embrace H830 dunghills.

6 H5771 For the punishment of the iniquity H1323 of the daughter H5971 of my people H1431 [H8799] is greater H2403 than the punishment H5467 of the sin of Sodom H2015 [H8803] , that was overthrown H7281 as in a moment H3027 , with no hands H2342 [H8804] laid on her.

7 H5139 Her Nazarites H2141 [H8804] were purer H7950 than snow H6705 [H8804] , they were whiter H2461 than milk H119 [H8804] , they were more ruddy H6106 in body H6443 than rubies H1508 , their polishing H5601 was of sapphire:

8 H8389 Their visage H2821 [H8804] is blacker H7815 than a coal H5234 [H8738] ; they are not known H2351 in the streets H5785 : their skin H6821 [H8804] cleaveth H6106 to their bones H3001 [H8804] ; it is withered H6086 , it is become like a stick.

9 H2491 They that are slain H2719 with the sword H2896 are better H2491 than they that are slain H7458 with hunger H1992 : for these H2100 [H8799] pine away H1856 [H8794] , stricken H8570 through for lack of the fruits H7704 of the field.

10 H3027 The hands H7362 of the tenderhearted H802 women H1310 [H8765] have boiled H3206 their own children H1262 [H8763] : they were their food H7667 in the destruction H1323 of the daughter H5971 of my people.
