Lamentations 4:9-11
New King James Version
9 Those slain by the sword are better off
Than those who die of hunger;
For these (A)pine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the (B)field.
10 The hands of the (C)compassionate women
Have [a]cooked their (D)own children;
They became (E)food for them
In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 The Lord has fulfilled His fury,
(F)He has poured out His fierce anger.
(G)He kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations.
