Teth
9 Better are those (A)pierced through with the sword
Than those pierced through with hunger;
For their life (B)flows away, being stricken
For lack of the produce of [a]the field.

(C)Boiled their own children;
They became (D)food for them
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
