1 H2091 How is the gold H6004 [H8714] become dim! H2896 how is the most H3800 fine gold H8132 [H8799] changed! H68 the stones H6944 of the sanctuary H8210 [H8691] are poured out H7218 at the head H2351 of every street.

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 ferocious, 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 perversity 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.
