Lamentations 4:9-11

Authorized (King James) Version

⁹ They that be slain with the sword are better
than they that be slain with hunger:
for these pine away,
stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
¹⁰ The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children:
they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

¹¹ The Lord hath accomplished his fury;
he hath poured out his fierce anger,
and hath kindled a fire in Zion,
and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
