1How the gold has become dim!
2The precious sons of Zion,
3Even the jackals offer their breast.
4The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst.
5Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets.
6For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
7Her Nazirites were purer than snow.
8Their appearance is blacker than a coal.
9Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger;
10The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children.
11The LORD has accomplished his wrath.
12The kings of the earth didn’t believe,
13It is because of the sins of her prophets
14They wander as blind men in the streets.
15“Go away!” they cried to them.
16The LORD’s anger has scattered them.
17Our eyes still fail,
18They hunt our steps,
19Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky.
20The breath of our nostrils,
21Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom,
22The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion.
