Lam. 4:5 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Lam. 4:4      Lam. 4:6

Lamentations 4:5

Those who used to eat delicacies
are abandoned on the streets [where they search for something to eat among the garbage].
Those who grew up (were raised) in scarlet [in luxury; were dressed in expensive clothes, see Prov 31:21]
embrace the dung heap [1 Sam. 2:8; Job 2:8; Ps. 113:7].
[The fifth Hebrew letter is: ה – he. The character depicts a person with outstretched hands. The meaning of the letter is to see, look, breathe, and gain revealed insight into something great and important that has been pointed out. It often symbolizes seeing and having perspective. In this verse, it is the words "those who used to eat" that begin with this letter. This reinforces that perspectives have changed completely. From prosperity to misery. The dye used to produce the scarlet color was the most expensive, see also Ps. 22:7.]
