Lamentations 4:3-5

Good News Translation

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.

⁵ People who once ate the finest foods die starving in the streets;
    those raised in luxury are pawing through garbage for food.
