Lamentations 4:10
“What were Israel's sufferings in Palestine, famines, pestilences, wars, captivities, under the Babylonians, and under the Assyrians, and their miseries from the Macedonians, and those under Hadrian and Vespasian? I have something that I wish, beloved, to relate to thee; nay, do not run away! Or rather I will tell thee…”

10The hands of tenderhearted women Have sodden their own children: They became meat for them In the destruction of the daughter of my people.

8Their countenance is become blacker than smoke; They are not known in the streets: Their skin has cloven to their bones; They are withered, they are become as a stick.
9The slain with the sword were better Than they that were slain with hunger: They have departed, Pierced through from want of the fruits of the field.
— Lamentations 4:10 —
11The Lord has accomplished his wrath; He has poured out his fierce anger, And has kindled a fire in Zion, And it has devoured her foundations.
12The kings of the earth, Even all that dwell in the world, Believed not that an enemy and oppressor would enter Through the gates of Jerusalem.
