Jeremiah 19:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ You people of Judah and Jerusalem may have big plans, but here in this valley I'll ruin^[a] those plans. I'll let your enemies kill you, and I'll tell the birds and wild animals to eat your dead bodies. ⁸ I will turn Jerusalem into a pile of rubble, and every passerby will be shocked and horrified and will make insulting remarks. ⁹ And while your enemies are trying to break through your city walls to kill you, the food supply will run out. You will become so hungry that you will eat the flesh of your friends and even of your own children.
