Lamentations 4:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ Happier were the victims of the sword
    than the victims of famine;
they have pined away, very hungry
    for the crops of my field.
¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women,
    have cooked their children;
they became as something to eat
    in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
¹¹ Yahweh has completed his anger,
    he has poured out his fierce anger;^[a]
he has kindled a fire in Zion,
    it consumed her^[b] foundations.
