Jeremiah 19:7-9
New Living Translation
7 “‘For I will upset the careful plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will allow the people to be slaughtered by invading armies, and I will leave their dead bodies as food for the vultures and wild animals. 8 I will reduce Jerusalem to ruins, making it a monument to their stupidity. All who pass by will be astonished and will gasp at the destruction they see there. 9 I will see to it that your enemies lay siege to the city until all the food is gone. Then those trapped inside will eat their own sons and daughters and friends. They will be driven to utter despair.’

Jeremiah 19:7-9
New International Version
7 “‘In this place I will ruin[a] the plans(A) of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies,(B) at the hands of those who want to kill them, and I will give their carcasses(C) as food(D) to the birds and the wild animals. 8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of horror and scorn;(E) all who pass by will be appalled(F) and will scoff because of all its wounds.(G) 9 I will make them eat(H) the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies(I) will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.’
