Sorrows 4/The punishment of Yerushalem

4:0 The punishment of Yerushalem

4א (Alef)

4Wow, how the gold is tarnished—the pure gold has changed.

The holy stones are scattered on the corners of every street.

ב (Beyt)

2The precious sons of Tsiyyon were once comparable with fine gold.

Now they’re regarded as clay jars—the work of a potter’s hands.

ג (Gimel)

3Even the jackals offer their teats to suckle their cubs,

but my people are fierce like the ostriches in the wilderness.

ד (Dalet)

4The tongue of the breast-feeding baby sticks to the roof of his mouth with thirst.

The children ask for food from those distributing it, but there’s none for them.

ה (He)

5Those used to eating the finest food are now desolate in the streets.

Those once attended by servants wearing scarlet, now embrace piles of rubbish.

ו (Vav)

6The guilt of my people is greater than Sodom’s sin.[ref]

That city was overthrown in an instant, but no one shed any tears about it.
