Lamentations 4:5

Those who once feasted on delicacies

perish in the streets;

those who were brought up in purple

embrace ash heaps.

Those who once ate delicacies

are destitute in the streets.

Those brought up in royal purple

now lie on ash heaps.

Those who used to eat delicacies

are destitute in the streets;

those who were reared in purple garments

huddle in trash heaps.

The people who once ate the richest foods

now beg in the streets for anything they can get.

Those who once wore the finest clothes

now search the garbage dumps for food.

The ones who eat delicacies,

they are ruined in the streets;

the ones nurtured in purple

lie on piles of trash.

They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets:

They that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
