Lamentations
It describes infants and babies fainting in the streets of the city. They cry to their mothers for food and drink and collapse like the wounded as life drains away (Lamentations 2:11–12).
11My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.
12They tell their mothers, Where is grain and wine? When they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, When their soul is poured out into their mothers` bosom.
