Leviticus 26:29
29. ye shall eat the flesh of your sons—The revolting picture was actually exhibited at the siege of Samaria, at the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar (La 4:10), and at the destruction of that city by the Romans. (See on De 28:53).
Deuteronomy 28:53-57
53-57. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body—(See 2Ki 6:29; La 4:10). Such were the dreadful extremities to which the inhabitants during the siege were reduced that many women sustained a wretched existence by eating the flesh of their own children. Parental affection was extinguished, and the nearest relatives were jealously, avoided, lest they should discover and demand a share of the revolting viands.
Jeremiah 15:2
2. death—deadly plague (Jer 18:21; 43:11; Eze 5:2, 12; Zec 11:9).
Jeremiah 27:13
13. Why . . . die—by running on your own ruin in resisting Nebuchadnezzar after this warning (Eze 18:31).
Ezekiel 4:16
16. staff of bread—bread by which life is supported, as a man's weight is by the staff he leans on (Le 26:26; Ps 105:16; Isa 3:1).
by weight, and with care—in scant measure (Eze 4:10).
