Lamentations 5:10

Our skin is as hot as an oven
from the ravages of hunger.

ח KhetNow they appear darker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become dry like wood.

My skin blackens and flakes off,
and my bones burn with fever.

Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,
I do not forget Your statutes.

ב BetHe has worn away my flesh and skin;
He has shattered my bones.

Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

ב BetHe has worn away my flesh and skin;
He has shattered my bones.

ח KhetNow they appear darker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become dry like wood.

My skin blackens and flakes off,
and my bones burn with fever.

Though I have become like a wineskin dried by smoke,
I do not forget Your statutes.

Now the famine in the land was severe.
