and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, iin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 jThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces, ▼▼Hebrew the husband of her bosom

lcutting off the children from the streets
and the young men from the squares.
Jeremiah 18:21

13Ephraim, ras I have seen, was like a young palm ▼
▼Or like Tyre
planted in a meadow;but tEphraim must lead his children out to slaughter. ▼
▼Hebrew to him who slaughters
14Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them va miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in wGilgal;
there I began to hate them.
Because of the wickedness of their deeds
I will drive them out of my house.
I will love them no more;
all xtheir princes are yrebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
ztheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even aathough they give birth,
abI will put their beloved children to death.
17 acMy God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
adthey shall be wanderers among the nations.
