Jeremiah 19:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ In this place I will frustrate all the plans of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies triumph over them and kill them in battle. I will give their corpses to the birds and the wild animals as food. ⁸ I will bring such terrible destruction on this city that everyone who passes by will be shocked and amazed. ⁹ 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.”
