Lamentations 4:9-11
Names of God Bible
9 Those who were killed with swords are better off
than those who are dying from starvation.
Those who were stabbed bled to death.
The others are dying because there is nothing in the fields to eat.
10 The hands of loving mothers cooked their own children.
The children were used for food by my people
when they were being destroyed by a blockade.
11 Yahweh’s fury has accomplished his purpose.
He unleashed his burning anger.
He started a fire in Zion that even burned its foundations.

have cooked their own children,(C)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.
