New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Lamentations 3
61 You have heard their reproach, O Lord, All their schemes against me.
62 The lips of my assailants and their whispering Are against me all day long.
63 Look on their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song.
64 You will recompense them, O Lord, According to the work of their hands.
65 You will give them hardness of heart, Your curse will be on them.
66 You will pursue them in anger and destroy them From under the heavens of the Lord!
Lamentations 4
1 How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are poured out At the corner of every street.
2 The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against fine gold, How they are regarded as earthen jars, The work of a potter’s hands!
3 Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.
5 Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits.
