Lamentations 4:9-11
New Life Version
9 Those who are killed with the sword are better off than those killed with hunger. For they waste away, suffering because they have no fruits of the field. 10 Women who had shown loving-kindness have boiled their own children for food, because my people are destroyed. 11 The Lord has acted in His anger. He has poured out His burning anger, and has set a fire in Zion which has burned it to the ground.

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

10 With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,(C)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.
