Lamentations 4:9-11

21st Century King James Version

⁹ They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

¹⁰ The hands of the pitying 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.
