11 My eyes are worn out from weeping; my stomach is in knots. My heart is poured out on the ground due to the destruction of my helpless people; children and infants faint in the town squares.

12 Children say to their mothers, |Where are food and drink?| They faint like a wounded warrior in the city squares. They die slowly in their mothers' arms.
