4:1 How
is
the
gold
become
dimme!
how
is
the
most
fine
gold
changed!
the
stones
of
the
sanctuarie
are
powred
out
in
the
top
of
euery
streete.
4:2 The
precious
sonnes
of
Zion,
comparable
to
fine
gold,
how
are
they
esteemed
as
earthen
pitchers,
the
worke
of
the
hands
of
the
potter!
4:3 Euen
the
sea-monsters
draw
out
the
breast,
they
giue
sucke
to
their
young
ones:
the
daughter
of
my
people
is
become
cruell,
like
the
ostriches
in
the
wildernesse.
4:4 The
tongue
of
the
sucking
child
cleaueth
to
the
roofe
of
his
mouth
for
thirst:
the
young
children
aske
bread,
and
no
man
breaketh
it
vnto
them.
4:5 They
that
did
feede
delicatly,
are
desolate
in
the
streetes:
they
that
were
brought
vp
in
scarlet,
embrace
dounghilles.
4:6 For
the
punishment
of
the
iniquitie
of
the
daughter
of
my
people,
is
greater
then
the
punishment
of
the
sinne
of
Sodom,
that
was
ouerthrowen
as
in
a
moment,
and
no
hands
stayed
on
her.
4:7 Her
Nazarites
were
purer
then
snow,
they
were
whiter
then
milke,
they
were
more
ruddie
in
body
then
rubies,
their
polishing
was
of
Saphir.
4:8 Their
visage
is
blacker
then
a
cole:
they
are
not
knowen
in
the
streets:
their
skinne
cleaueth
to
their
bones:
it
is
withered,
it
is
become
like
a
sticke.
4:9 They
that
bee
slaine
with
the
sword,
are
better
then
they
that
be
slain
with
hunger:
for
these
pine
away,
stricken
through
for
want
of
the
fruits
of
the
field.
4:10 The
hands
of
the
pitifull
women
haue
sodden
their
owne
children,
they
were
their
meate
in
the
destruction
of
the
daughter
of
my
people.
4:11 The
Lord
hath
accomplished
his
furie,
he
hath
powred
out
his
fierce
anger,
and
hath
kindled
a
fire
in
Zion,
and
it
hath
deuoured
the
foundations
thereof.
4:12 The
kings
of
the
earth,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
world
would
not
haue
beleeued,
that
the
aduersarie
and
the
enemie
should
haue
entred
into
the
gates
of
Ierusalem.
4:13 For
the
sinnes
of
her
prophets,
and
the
iniquities
of
her
priests,
that
haue
shed
the
blood
of
the
iust
in
the
middest
of
her:
4:14 They
haue
wandred
as
blind
men
in
the
streetes,
they
haue
polluted
themselues
with
blood,
so
that
men
could
not
touch
their
garments.
4:15 They
cryed
vnto
them;
Depart
yee,
it
is
vncleane,
depart,
depart,
touch
not,
when
they
fled
away
and
wandred:
they
said
among
the
heathen,
They
shall
no
more
soiourne
there.
4:16 The
anger
of
the
Lord
hath
diuided
them,
he
will
no
more
regard
them:
they
respected
not
the
persons
of
the
priests,
they
fauoured
not
the
elders.
4:17 As
for
vs,
our
eyes
as
yet
failed
for
our
vaine
helpe:
in
our
watching
we
haue
watched
for
a
nation
that
could
not
saue
vs.
4:18 They
hunt
our
steps
that
we
cannot
goe
in
our
streets:
our
end
is
neere,
our
dayes
are
fulfilled,
for
our
ende
is
come.
4:19 Our
persecutours
are
swifter
then
the
eagles
of
the
heauen:
they
pursued
vs
vpon
the
mountaines,
they
laide
waite
for
vs
in
the
wildernesse.
4:20 The
breath
of
our
nostrels,
the
anointed
of
the
Lord
was
taken
in
their
pits,
of
whom
we
said,
Under
his
shadowe
we
shall
liue
among
the
heathen.
4:21 Reioyce
and
be
glad,
O
daughter
of
Edom,
that
dwellest
in
the
lande
of
Uz,
the
cup
also
shall
passe
through
vnto
thee:
thou
shalt
be
drunken,
and
shalt
make
thy
selfe
naked.
4:22 The
punishment
of
thine
iniquitie
is
accomplished,
O
daughter
of
Zion,
he
will
no
more
carie
thee
away
into
captiuitie:
hee
will
visit
thine
iniquitie,
O
daughter
of
Edom,
hee
will
discouer
thy
sinnes.
