Lamentations 4 — GMV

4 Verse 1 How will the gold be tarnished, ^{Verse 2} The precious sons of Zion, ^{Verse 3} Nay, serpents have drawn out the breasts, ^{Verse 4} The tongue of the sucking child ^{Verse 5} They that feed on dainties ^{Verse 6} And the iniquity of the daughter of my people has been increased ^{Verse 7} Her Nazirites were made purer than snow, ^{Verse 8} Their countenance is become blacker than smoke; ^{Verse 9} The slain with the sword were better ^{Verse 10} The hands of tenderhearted women ^{Verse 11} The Lord has accomplished his wrath; ^{Verse 12} The kings of the earth, ^{Verse 13} For the sins of her prophets, ^{Verse 14} Her watchmen staggered in the streets, ^{Verse 15} Depart ye from the unclean ones: ^{Verse 16} The presence of the Lord was their portion; ^{Verse 17} While we yet lived our eyes failed, ^{Verse 18} We have hunted for our little ones, ^{Verse 19} Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky, ^{Verse 20} The breath of our nostrils, our anointed Lord, ^{Verse 21} Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, ^{Verse 22} O daughter of Zion, thine iniquity has come to an end;
