ગુજરાતીયર્મિયાનો વિલાપ ૪:૭
તેના સરદારો બરફ કરતાં સ્વચ્છ હતા, તેઓ દૂધ કરતાં સફેદ હતા. તેઓનાં શરીરો માણેક કરતાં રાતાં હતાં, તેઓનું રૂપ નીલમ જેવું હતું.
हिन्दीविलापगीत ४:७
उसके कुलीन हिम से निर्मल और दूध से भी अधिक उज्जवल थे; उनकी देह मूँगों से अधिक लाल, और उनकी सुन्दरता नीलमणि की सी थी।

In context

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

6For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment. No hands were laid on her.

7Her nobles were purer than snow. They were whiter than milk. They were more ruddy in body than rubies. Their polishing was like sapphire.

8Their appearance is blacker than a coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered. It has become like wood.

9Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through, for lack of the fruits of the field.
