Lamentations 4:8-10

21st Century King James Version

⁸ Now their visage is blacker than coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaveth to their bones, it is withered, it has become like a stick.

⁹ They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.

¹⁰ The hands of the pitying women have sodden their own children; they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
