Lamentations 4:3

3 Even jackals offer the breast; they nurse their young. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like desert ostriches.

Lamentations 4:3 In-Context

1 Oh, no! Gold is tarnished; even the purest gold is changed. Sacred jewels are scattered on every street corner.
2 Zion's precious children, once valued as pure gold— oh no!—now they are worth no more than clay pots made by a potter.
3 Even jackals offer the breast; they nurse their young. But the daughter of my people has become cruel, like desert ostriches.
4 The baby's tongue sticks to the roof of its mouth, thirsty. Children ask for bread, beg for it—but there is no bread.
5 Those who once ate gourmet food now tremble in the streets. Those who wore the finest purple clothes now cling to piles of garbage.
