Lamentations 4 (NKJV)

¹ At the head of every street. ² The work of the hands of the potter! ³ Like ostriches in the wilderness. ⁴ But no one breaks it for them. ⁵ Embrace ash heaps. ⁶ With no hand to help her! ⁷ Like sapphire in their appearance. ⁸ It has become as dry as wood. ⁹ Stricken for lack of the fruits of the field. ¹⁰ In the destruction of the daughter of my people. ¹¹ And it has devoured its foundations. ¹² Could enter the gates of Jerusalem— ¹³ The blood of the just. ¹⁴ So that no one would touch their garments. ¹⁵ “They shall no longer dwell here.” ¹⁶ Nor show favor to the elders. ¹⁷ For a nation that could not save us. ¹⁸ For our end had come. ¹⁹ And lay in wait for us in the wilderness. ²⁰ We shall live among the nations.” ²¹ And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked. ²² He will uncover your sins!
