Lamentations 4:8-10

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

8Their appearance is darker than soot,

They are not recognized in the streets;

Their skin is shriveled on their bones,

It is dry, it has become like wood.

9Better off are those killed by the sword

Than those killed by hunger;

For they waste away, stricken

By the lack of the produce of the field.

10The hands of compassionate women

Boiled their own children;

They became food for them

Due to the destruction of the daughter of my people.
