Deuteronomy 28:53

53 And ^ayou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, ^bin the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.

Jeremiah 14:18

18 ^cIf I go out into the field,
behold, those pierced by the sword!
^dAnd if I enter the city,
behold, the diseases of famine!
^eFor both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
and have no knowledge.’”

Lamentations 4:4-9

4 The tongue of the nursing infant ^fsticks
to the roof of its mouth for thirst;
^gthe children beg for food,
but no one gives to them.
5 Those who once feasted on delicacies
perish in the streets;
^hthose who were brought up in purple
embrace ash heaps.
6 ⁱFor the chastisement ^{▼▼Or iniquity} of the daughter of my people has been greater
than the punishment ^{▼▼Or sin} of Sodom,
^lwhich was overthrown in a moment,
and no hands were wrung for her. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
7 Her princes were purer than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies were more ruddy than coral,
the beauty of their form ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} was like sapphire. ^{▼▼Hebrew lapis lazuli}
8 ^pNow their face is blacker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets;
their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it has become as dry as wood.
9 Happier were the victims of the sword
than the victims of hunger,
who wasted away, pierced
by lack of the fruits of the field.

Lamentations 5:10

10 ^qOur skin is hot as an oven
with ^rthe burning heat of famine.
