Even jackals offer the breast;
    they nurse their young;

    like the ostriches in the wilderness.

(B)the children beg for food,
    but no one gives to them.

    at the beginning of the night watches!
(B)Pour out your heart like water
    before the presence of the Lord!

    for the lives of your children,
(D)who faint for hunger
    at the head of every street.”

    in the sanctuary of the Lord?
