Lamentations 4:2-4

Good News Translation

² Zion's young people were as precious to us as gold,
    but now they are treated like common clay pots.

³ Even a mother wolf will nurse her cubs,
    but my people are like ostriches, cruel to their young.

⁴ They let their babies die of hunger and thirst;
    children are begging for food that no one will give them.
