Lamentations 4:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 Being killed with a sword
is better than slowly
starving to death.
10 (A) Life in the city is so bad
that loving mothers have boiled
and eaten their own children.
11 The Lord was so fiercely angry
that he burned the city of Zion
to the ground.
Lamentations 4:9-11
New International Version
9 Those killed by the sword are better off
than those who die of famine;(A)
racked with hunger, they waste away
for lack of food from the field.(B)
10 With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,(C)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.
