They go unrecognized in the streets;
aTheir skin clings to their bones,
It has become as dry as wood.
Than those who die of hunger;
For these apine away,
Stricken for lack of the fruits of the bfield.
Have1 cooked their bown children;
They became cfood for them
In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
aHe has poured out His fierce anger.
bHe kindled a fire in Zion,
And it has devoured its foundations.
And all inhabitants of the world,
Would not have believed
That the adversary and the enemy
Could aenter the gates of Jerusalem—
