Lamentations 4:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ People who once ate the finest foods die starving in the streets;
    those raised in luxury are pawing through garbage for food.

^6 (A)My people have been punished even more than the inhabitants of Sodom,
    which met a sudden downfall at the hands of God.

⁷ Our princes^[a] were undefiled and pure as snow,
    vigorous and strong, glowing with health.
