Lamentations 4:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ Happier were the victims of the sword
    than the victims of hunger,
who wasted away, pierced
    by lack of the fruits of the field.

^10 (A)The hands of ^(B)compassionate women
    ^(C)have boiled their own children;
^(D)they became their food
    during the destruction of the daughter of my people.

^11 (E)The Lord gave full vent to his wrath;
    he poured out his hot anger,
and ^(F)he kindled a fire in Zion
    that consumed its foundations.
