Lam 4:3-4, 5:10 | ESV | STEP | Even jackals offer the breast ; they nurse their young ; but the daughter of my people has become cruel , like the ostriches in the wilderness .

Lamentations 4:3-4

3 Even jackals offer the breast;
they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4 The tongue of the nursing infant ^asticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
^bthe children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.

Lamentations 5:10

10 ^cOur skin is hot as an oven
with ^dthe burning heat of famine.
