"The LORD will curse you by giving you only a few children, poor crops, and few cattle and sheep.

Your hunger will be so great that you will eat your own children.

What's your trouble?" She answered, "The other day this woman here suggested that we eat my child, and then eat her child the next day.

So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her that we would eat her son, but she had hidden him!"

The enemy will surround the city and try to kill its people. The siege will be so terrible that the people inside the city will eat one another and even their own children."

Look, O LORD! Why are you punishing us like this? Women are eating the bodies of the children they loved! Priests and prophets are being killed in the Temple itself !

The disaster that came to my people brought horror; loving mothers boiled their own children for food.

As a result, parents in Jerusalem will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will punish you and scatter in every direction any who are left alive.

How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies!
