Lamentations 4:8-10
New Life Version
8 Now they look more black than dark ashes. No one knows who they are in the streets. Their skin has dried up on their bones. It has become as dry as wood. 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.

Lamentations 4:8-10
New International Version
8 But now they are blacker(A) than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;(B)
it has become as dry as a stick.
9 Those killed by the sword are better off
than those who die of famine;(C)
racked with hunger, they waste away
for lack of food from the field.(D)
10 With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,(E)
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.
