Lamentations 4:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ Now their appearance is blacker than soot,
    they are not recognized in the streets;
their skin has shriveled on their bones,
    it has become dry like wood.
⁹ Happier were the victims of the sword
    than the victims of famine;
they have pined away, very hungry
    for the crops of my field.
¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women,
    have cooked their children;
they became as something to eat
    in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
