Lamentations 4:7-11

7Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:

8Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.1

9They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for lack of the fruits of the field.2

10The hands of the tenderhearted women have boiled their own children: they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

11The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured its foundations.
