With their own hands, loving mothers have had to cook even their own children. They ate their children when my people were destroyed.

You will eat the dead bodies of your sons. You will also eat the dead bodies of your daughters.

People will eat up everything they can find on their right. But they’ll still be hungry. They will eat everything they can find on their left. But they won’t be satisfied. So they will eat the dead bodies of their children.

So parents will eat their own children inside the city. And children will eat their parents. I will punish you. And I will scatter to the winds anyone who is left alive.

Jerusalem says,“ Lord, look at me. Think about my condition. Have you ever treated anyone else like this? Should women have to eat their babies? Should they eat the children they’ve taken care of? Should priests and prophets be killed in your own temple?

Your enemies will surround you and attack you. They will make you suffer greatly. So you will eat your own children. You will eat the dead bodies of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.There may be a gentle and caring man among you. But he will treat his own brother badly. He’ll be just as mean to the wife he loves and to any of his children who are still alive.He won’t give to a single one of them any part of the dead bodies of his children that he’s eating. It will be all he has left to eat. That’s how much your enemies will make you suffer when they surround all your cities and attack them.There may be a gentle and caring woman among you. She wouldn’t even touch the ground with her feet without first putting her sandals on. But she will not share anything with the husband she loves. She won’t share with her own children either.She will eat what comes out of her body after she has a baby. Then she’ll even eat her baby. She won’t share it with anyone in her family. In her great hunger she’ll plan to eat it in secret. There won’t be anything else for her to eat because the city she lives in will be surrounded. That’s an example of how much your enemies will make you suffer when they are attacking your cities.

One day the king of Israel was walking on top of the city wall. A woman cried out to him,“ You are my king and master. Please help me!”The king replied,“ If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”He continued,“ What’s wrong?” She answered,“ A woman said to me,‘ Give up your son. Then we can eat him today. Tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’So we cooked my son. Then we ate him. The next day I said to her,‘ Give up your son. Then we can eat him.’ But she had hidden him.”
