And I will lay waste the plans[a] of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will bring them to ruin by the sword before[b] their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life, and I will give their dead bodies[c] as food to the birds[d] of heaven and to the animals[e] of the earth. And I will make this city a horror, and an object of hissing, everyone who passes by it will be appalled, and will hiss because of all its wounds. And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each one will eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress which their enemies and those who seek their life inflict on them.”’
