Lamentations 4:3-5
English Standard Version
3 Even jackals offer the breast;
they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the nursing infant (A)sticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
(B)the children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.
5 Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
(C)those who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps.
