Lamentations 4:8-10

Complete Jewish Bible

⁸ Now their faces are blacker than coal;
in the streets they go unrecognized.
Their skin has shriveled over their bones
and become as dry as a stick.

⁹ Those slain by the sword are better off
than those who are dying from hunger;
since these waste away as if pierced through,
for lack of food from the fields.
¹⁰ With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children;
their children became their food
when the daughter of my people was destroyed.
