Lamentations 4:9-10
English Standard Version Anglicised
9 Happier were the victims of the sword
than the victims of hunger,
who wasted away, pierced
by lack of the fruits of the field.
10 (A)The hands of (B)compassionate women
(C)have boiled their own children;
(D)they became their food
during the destruction of the daughter of my people.
