Jeremiah 34:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ And those who transgressed my covenant and did not keep the terms of the covenant that they made before me, I will make like^[a] the calf when they cut it in two and passed between its parts: ¹⁹ the officials of Judah, the officials of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf ²⁰ shall be handed over to their enemies and to those who seek their lives. Their corpses shall become food for the birds of the air and the wild animals of the earth.
