1 The gold is not bright now. The stones from God’s house lie in the road. ️ 2 The people in God’s city were like gold. Now they are like clay pots. They break easy. ♂️♀️➡️ 3 Wild dogs feed their babies. But my people were not kind, like big birds in the wild. 4 Babies’ tongues stuck from no water. Kids asked for bread, but no one gave. ❌ 5 People who ate nice food now lie in the street. People who wore purple now sit on ash piles. ➡️️➡️ 6 The hurt on God’s city was worse than a city named Sodom. That city fell fast. ️⚡ 7 The leaders used to look clean and strong. ✨ 8 Now their faces are dark and thin. They look sick. People do not know them. 9 Hunger hurts more and for a long time. It is worse than a fast end. ️❌⏳ 10 Moms did a very sad, very wrong thing because there was no food. ❌ 11 God was very angry. A fire burned in God’s city. ️ 12 No one thought the enemy could come in the city gates. 13 This came because leaders, prophets, and priests did bad things. They hurt good people. ️✝️ 14 They walked like blind in the streets. Their clothes had blood. No one would touch them. ♂️♀️ 15 People shouted, “Go away! Do not touch!” They ran to far lands. Others said, “You cannot stay here.” ♂️ 16 God sent them away. People did not honor the priests or the old men. ✋ 17 We kept looking for help. We waited for a big friend nation, but it did not save us. ⏳ 18 The enemy watched our steps. We could not walk free. We felt the end was near. 19 They ran faster than eagles. They chased us in the hills and the wild. ⛰️♀️ 20 Our king, the one we hoped would keep us safe, was caught. We said, “We will be safe under him.” 21 People in Edom, you smile now. But your turn will come. You will be sad and ashamed. ➡️ 22 People in God’s city, your pain will end. God will not keep you away forever. But God will judge Edom. ⚖️
