⁴ The tongue of the nursing infant ^(A)sticks
    to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
^(B)the children beg for food,
    but no one gives to them.

^11 (A)My eyes are spent with weeping;
    ^(B)my stomach churns;
^(C)my bile is poured out to the ground
    ^(D)because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
^(E)because infants and babies ^(F)faint
    in the streets of the city.

¹² They cry to their mothers,
    ^(G)“Where is bread and wine?”
^(H)as they faint like a wounded man
    in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
    on their mothers' bosom.

¹¹ All her people ^(A)groan
    as ^(B)they search for bread;
they trade their ^(C)treasures for ^(D)food
    to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
    for I am despised.”
