Lamentations 4:2
| ← Lamentations 4:1 | Lamentations 4:2 (KJV) | Lamentations 4:3 → |
|---|---|---|
How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
|
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
|
Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people [is become] cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
