9 Those slain by the sword are better off
than those slain by hunger,

because the fields lack produce.

have cooked their own children;(A)
they became their food
during the destruction of my dear people.(B)

poured out His burning anger;
He has ignited a fire in Zion,
and it has consumed her foundations.(C)
