Lamentations 4:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ Babies are so thirsty
    their tongues stick to the roof of their mouths.
Young children ask for bread,
    but no one gives them any.
⁵ Those who ate rich food
    are now dying in the streets.
Those who grew up wearing nice red clothes
    now pick through garbage piles.
⁶ The sin of the daughter of my people was very great.
    Their sin was greater than the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed suddenly.
    No human hand caused their destruction.^[a]
