Lamentations 4:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Those who were killed in the war were better off
    than those killed by hunger.
They starve in pain and die,
    because there is no food from the field.

¹⁰ With their own hands kind women
    cook their own children.
They became food
    when my people were destroyed.

¹¹ The Lord turned loose all of his anger;
    he poured out his strong anger.
He set fire to Jerusalem,
    burning it down to the foundations.
