1. How the gold has grown dim, the pure gold has changed. The stones of holiness are scattered at the head of every street.
2. The precious sons of Zion weighed against fine gold, how they are thought of as earthen vessels of clay, the work of the potter’s hands.
3. Even the jackal bears the beast and nurses their cubs; but the daughter of my people has become ruthless, like ostriches in the wilderness.
4. The tongue of the nursling cleaves to its palate in thirst. Children beg for food, no one lays it out before them.
5. The ones who eat delicacies, they are ruined in the streets; the ones nurtured in purple lie on piles of trash.
6. The iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom; it was overthrown in a moment and no hands were laid on her.
