Lamentaciones 4

Ihr Aussehen ist schwärzer geworden als Russ, man erkennt sie nicht auf den Gassen; / ihre Haut klebt an ihrem Gebein, sie ist trocken geworden wie Holz. /

Oscura más que la negrura es la forma de ellos; no los conocen por las calles: su piel está pegada á sus huesos, seca como un palo.

Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.

Their 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.
