Good News Bible

Lamentations 4:3-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

3. Even a mother wolf will nurse her cubs,but my people are like ostriches, cruel to their young.

4. They let their babies die of hunger and thirst;children are begging for food that no one will give them.

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

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