Lamentations 4:6
Berean Standard Bible
The punishment * of the daughter of my people is greater than that of Sodom, which was overthrown in an instant without a hand turned to help her.
Context
4The nursing infant’s tongue
clings in thirst to the roof of his mouth.
Little children beg for bread,
but no one gives them any. 5Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets;
those brought up in crimson
huddle in ash heaps. 6The punishment * of the daughter of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,
which was overthrown in an instant
without a hand turned to help her. 7Her dignitaries were brighter than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance * like sapphires.* 8But now their appearance is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as a stick.
