 Well, turn with me to Lamentations 5.10. Listen to God's Word. Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. Black and famine are always associated together in the Scripture. Then let's turn to Lamentations 4 and 8 and 9. Their visage is blacker than coal. They are not known in the streets. Their skin cleaveth to their bones. It is withered, and it has become like a stick.
