Lamentations 4:2-4

Names of God Bible

² “Zion’s precious children, who are worth their weight in fine gold,
    are now treated like clay pots,
        like those made by a potter’s hands.
³ Even jackals offer their breasts to nurse their young,
    but the women of my people are as cruel as wild ostriches.
⁴ The tongues of nursing infants stick to the roofs of their mouths
    because of their thirst.
    Little children beg for bread,
    but no one will break off a piece for them.
