Lamentations 4:5

הָאֹכְלִ֤ים לְמַעֲדַנִּים֙ נָשַׁ֣מּוּ בַחוּצ֔וֹת הָאֱמֻנִ֥ים עֲלֵ֖י תוֹלָ֑ע חִבְּק֖וּ אַשְׁפַּתּֽוֹת׃
King James Version (KJV)

They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.

Modern English

Those who once feasted on delicacies perish in the streets; those who were brought up in purple embrace ash heaps.

Hebrew

הָאֹכְלִ֤ים לְמַעֲדַנִּים֙ נָשַׁ֣מּוּ בַחוּצ֔וֹת הָאֱמֻנִ֥ים עֲלֵ֖י תוֹלָ֑ע חִבְּק֖וּ אַשְׁפַּתּֽוֹת׃
