Lamentations 4

⁸ But now their appearance is blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones; it has become as dry as a stick.

⁹ Those slain by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, who waste away, pierced with pain because the fields lack produce.

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women have cooked their own children, who became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
