Chapter 4
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.
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!
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
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.
5
They
that
did
feede
delicatly,
are
desolate
in
the
streetes:
they
that
were
brought
vp
in
scarlet,
embrace
dounghilles.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
14
They
haue
wandred
as
blind
men
in
the
streetes,
they
haue
polluted
themselues
with
blood,
so
that
men
could
not
touch
their
garments.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
