Lamentations 4:8

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Their faces have gone dark as coal, and people can't even recognize them on the street anymore. Their skin is just clinging to their bones now — completely dried out, looking like nothing but sticks.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Famine doesn't just take your food — it takes everything you used to be.
