Lamentations 4:5

Next

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

They that did feed {H398} delicately {H4574} are desolate {H8074} in the streets {H2351}: they that were brought up {H539} in scarlet {H8438} embrace {H2263} dunghills {H830}.

People who once ate only the best lie dying in the streets; those who were raised wearing purple are clawing at piles of garbage.

Those who once ate delicacies are destitute in the streets; those brought up in crimson huddle in ash heaps.

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