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.
