Even the jackals offer their breast. They nurse their young ones. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયાનો વિલાપ ૪:૩
શિયાળ પણ પોતાનાં બચ્ચાંને સ્તનપાન કરાવે છે, પણ મારા લોકોની દીકરીઓ અરણ્યમાંની શાહમૃગી જેવી નિર્દય થઈ છે.
हिन्दीविलापगीत ४:३
गीदड़िन भी अपने बच्चों को थन से लगाकर पिलाती है, परन्तु मेरे लोगों की बेटी वन के शुतुर्मुर्गों के तुल्य निर्दयी हो गई है।

In context

1How the gold has become dim! The most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.

2The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how they are esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!

3Even the jackals offer their breast. They nurse their young ones. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

4The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst. The young children ask for bread, and no one breaks it for them.

5Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets. Those who were brought up in purple embrace dunghills.
