Lamentations 1:11

11 All her people ^cgroan
as ^dthey search for bread;
they trade their ^etreasures for ^ffood
to revive their strength.
“Look, O Lord, and see,
for I am despised.”

Lamentations 2:11-12

11 ^gMy eyes are spent with weeping;
^hmy stomach churns;
ⁱmy bile is poured out to the ground
^jbecause of the destruction of the daughter of my people,
^kbecause infants and babies ^lfaint
in the streets of the city.
12 They cry to their mothers,
^m“Where is bread and wine?”
ⁿas they faint like a wounded man
in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
on their mothers’ bosom.

Matthew 7:9-11

9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for ^obread, will give him ^pa stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, ^qwho are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will ^ryour Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
