¹⁰ We are feverish with hunger.
    Famine’s scorching heat burns our flesh like an oven.
¹¹ In the place where God should be—
    Zion and the surrounding towns of Judah—
Women, young and old alike,
    are brutally raped and violated.
¹² Our leaders are made an example, hung by their hands,
    and our elders are treated with contempt.
