Lamentations 4:1 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Oh, oh, oh . . . How gold is treated like dirt, the finest gold thrown out with the garbage, Priceless jewels scattered all over, jewels loose in the gutters. | 1 How the gold has lost its luster, the fine gold become dull! The sacred gems are scattered at the head of every street. |
