Lamentations 4:3-10
New International Version
3 Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.(A)
4 Because of thirst(B) the infant’s tongue
sticks to the roof of its mouth;(C)
the children beg for bread,
but no one gives it to them.(D)
5 Those who once ate delicacies
are destitute in the streets.
Those brought up in royal purple(E)
now lie on ash heaps.(F)
6 The punishment of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,(G)
which was overthrown in a moment
without a hand turned to help her.
7 Their princes were brighter than snow
and whiter than milk,
their bodies more ruddy than rubies,
their appearance like lapis lazuli.
8 But now they are blacker(H) than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;(I)
it has become as dry as a stick.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off
than those who die of famine;(J)
racked with hunger, they waste away
for lack of food from the field.(K)
10 With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,(L)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.

14 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(A)
2 “Judah mourns,(B)
her cities languish;
they wail for the land,
and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3 The nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns
but find no water.(C)
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.(D)
4 The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;(E)
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field
deserts her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.(F)
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(G)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”(H)

26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?” 28 Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?”
She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’ 29 So we cooked my son and ate(C) him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”
