Lamentations 4:4
New King James Version
4 The tongue of the infant clings
To the roof of its mouth for thirst;
(A)The young children ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
Psalm 22:15
New King James Version
15 (A)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And (B)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
Lamentations 2:11-12
New King James Version
11 (A)My eyes fail with tears,
My [a]heart is troubled;
(B)My [b]bile is poured on the ground
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
Because (C)the children and the infants
Faint in the streets of the city.
12 They say to their mothers,
“Where is grain and wine?”
As they swoon like the wounded
In the streets of the city,
As their life is poured out
In their mothers’ bosom.

New King James Version
9 (A)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, (B)being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Above my chief joy.

With the poison of serpents of the dust.
