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.
Sus rostros se han vuelto más negros que el carbón, y ya no los pueden reconocer en las calles. Su piel se pega a sus huesos, está completamente seca, pareciendo como madera.
La gente está tan demacrada por el sufrimiento que ya no se les puede reconocer.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Lamentations was written by the prophet Jeremiah around 586 BC, following the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem, which marked the end of the Kingdom of Judah and the beginning of the Babylonian exile. This verse vividly describes the severe famine and starvation endured by the city's inhabitants during the siege, where people became emaciated and unrecognizable due to lack of food and resources. It reflects the broader theme of God's judgment on the nation for their persistent idolatry and disobedience.
