Lamentations 4:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

Cheth

⁸ Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered; it is dry like a stick.

Teth

⁹ Those slain with the sword are better than those slain with hunger; for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the earth.

Jod

¹⁰ The hands of the compassionate women have cooked their own children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
