Lamentations 4:12

Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger;

for these pine away, stricken through,

for lack of the fruits of the field.

The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children.

They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

The LORD has accomplished his wrath.

He has poured out his fierce anger.

He has kindled a fire in Zion,

which has devoured its foundations.

It is because of the sins of her prophets

and the iniquities of her priests,

that have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.

They wander as blind men in the streets.

They are polluted with blood,

So that men can’t touch their garments.

“Go away!” they cried to them.

“Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch!

When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations,

“They can’t live here any more.”
