|---|---|---|
Their 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.
|
[They that be] slain with the sword are better than [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for [want of] the fruits of the field.
|
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
