Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field.
The hands of compassionate women Boiled their own children; They became food for them Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
The LORD has accomplished His wrath, He has poured out His fierce anger; And He has kindled a fire in Zion Which has consumed its foundations.
The kings of the earth did not believe, Nor did any of the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy Could enter the gates of Jerusalem.
Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous;
They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments.
"Depart! Unclean!" they cried of themselves. "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell with us."
