Lamentations 4:5

He

_ _ delicately — on dainties.

_ _ are desolate — or, “perish.”

_ _ in scarlet embrace dunghills — Instead of the scarlet couches on which the grandees were nursed, they must lie on dunghills.

_ _ embrace — They who once shrank sensitively from any soil, gladly cling close to heaps of filth as their only resting-place. Compare “embrace the rock” (Job 24:8).
