4:7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their figure was as sapphire.
4:8 Their visage is darker than blackness, they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaveth to their bones, it is withered, it is become like a stick.
4:9 The slain with the sword are happier than the slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
4:11 Jehovah hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierceanger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath consumed the foundations thereof.
4:14 They wandered about blind in the streets; they were polluted with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
4:15 They cried unto them, Depart! Unclean! Depart! depart, touch not! When they fled away, and wandered about, it was said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn [there].
4:16 The face of Jehovah hath divided them; he will no more regard them. They respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the aged.
4:17 Our eyes still failed for our vain help; in our watching, we have watched for a nation that did not save.
4:18 They hunted our steps, that we could not go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
4:19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they chased us hotly upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
