2 Kings 6:26-29
26Now as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!” 27And he said, “If the Lord will not help you, how shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the winepress?” 28And the king asked her, “What is your trouble?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 aSo we boiled my son and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him.’ But she has hidden her son.”Lamentations 2:20
20 Look, O Lord, and see!bWith whom have you dealt thus?
cShould women eat the fruit of their womb,
the children of dtheir tender care?
Should epriest and prophet be killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Lamentations 4:3
3 Even jackals offer the breast;they nurse their young;
but the daughter of my people has become cruel,
like the ostriches in the wilderness.
