Lamentations 4:9-11
American Standard Version
Lamentations 4:9-11
American Standard Version
9 They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger;
For these [a]pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
10 The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children;
They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11 Jehovah hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger;
And he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.
