Commentary for Lamentations 4:10
יְדֵ֗י נָשִׁים֙ רַחֲמָ֣נִיּ֔וֹת בִּשְּׁל֖וּ יַלְדֵיהֶ֑ן הָי֤וּ לְבָרוֹת֙ לָ֔מוֹ בְּשֶׁ֖בֶר בַּת־עַמִּֽי׃ (ס)
The hands of women full of compassion Have sodden their own children; They were their food In the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Rashi on Lamentations
Their food. For food, as in, “and he did not eat בָרָה food with them,”15II Shmuel 12:17. [and as in] “to serve Dovid a meal לְהַבְרוֹת.”16Ibid. 3:35.
