| Lamentations 4:5 | He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet, have embraced the dung. | Scarlet. Literally, "yellow;" croceis. (Haydock) --- Hebrew means purple. Those who have been educated in the most delicate manner, are forced to feed on the most disgusting things, 4 Kings 6:25., and 18:27., and Deuteronomy 28:54. |
