10 Nuestra piel se ennegreció como un horno á causa del ardor del hambre.

11 Violaron á las mujeres en Sión, á las vírgenes en las ciudades de Judá.

12 A los príncipes colgaron por su mano; no respetaron el rostro de los viejos.

13 Llevaron los mozos á moler, y los muchachos desfallecieron en la leña.

14 Los ancianos cesaron de la puerta, los mancebos de sus canciones.
