The Lamentations (Of Jeremiah) 4:7-10 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

7. Zain Her Nazarites were whiter than snow; they were more radiant than milk; their composure had more fire than the precious stones cut from sapphire:

8. Cheth Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered; it is dry like a stick.

9. Teth Those slain with the sword are better than those slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the earth.

10. Jod The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
