Lamentations 4:6

Zion Is Punished

⁵ Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those reared in purple
Embrace ash pits.
⁶ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the sin of Sodom,
Which was overthrown as in a moment,
And no hands were turned toward her.
⁷ Her consecrated ones were purer than snow,
They were whiter than milk;
They were more ruddy in body than corals,
Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.
