Lamentations 4:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ Now, their visage is blacker than coal. They are unrecognizable in the streets. Their skin clings to their bones. It is withered, like a stick.

⁹ Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger. For they fade away, stricken through by the fruits of the field.

¹⁰ The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children, which were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
