25:004:005 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: 
           they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

25:004:006 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my
           people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom,
           that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on
           her.

25:004:007 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than
           milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their
           polishing was of sapphire: 

25:004:008 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the
           streets:  their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered,
           it is become like a stick.

25:004:009 They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be
           slain with hunger:  for these pine away, stricken through for
           want of the fruits of the field.

25:004:010 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: 
           they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my
           people.

25:004:011 The lord hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his
           fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath
           devoured the foundations thereof.

25:004:012 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world,
           would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy
           should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

25:004:013 For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her
           priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of
           her,

25:004:014 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have
           polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch
           their garments.

25:004:015 They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart,
           depart, touch not:  when they fled away and wandered, they said
           among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.

25:004:016 The anger of the lord hath divided them; he will no more
           regard them:  they respected not the persons of the priests,
           they favoured not the elders.

25:004:017 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help:  in our
           watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

25:004:018 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets:  our end
           is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

25:004:019 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: 
           they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in
           the wilderness.

25:004:020 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the lord, was
           taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we
           shall live among the heathen.
