Lamentations 4:9-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

Teth

⁹ Those slain with the sword are better than those slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the earth.

Jod

¹⁰ The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Caph

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