Deuteronomy 28:53-57
53And 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. 54The man who is the most tender and refined among you will cbegrudge food to his brother, to dthe wife he embraces, ▼▼Hebrew the wife of his bosom
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, fin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 gThe 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
to her son and to her daughter, 57her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, iin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns. Hosea 9:12-16
12 jEven if they bring up children,I will bereave them till none is left.
kWoe to them
when lI depart from them!
13Ephraim, mas I have seen, was like a young palm ▼
▼Or like Tyre
planted in a meadow;but oEphraim must lead his children out to slaughter. ▼
▼Hebrew to him who slaughters
14Give them, O Lord—
what will you give?
Give them qa miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
15 Every evil of theirs is in rGilgal;
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 stheir princes are trebels.
16 Ephraim is stricken;
utheir root is dried up;
they shall bear no fruit.
Even vthough they give birth,
wI will put their beloved children to death.
Hosea 13:16
16 ▼▼Ch 14:1 in Hebrew
Samaria yshall bear her guilt,because zshe has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword;
aatheir little ones shall be dashed in pieces,
and their abpregnant women ripped open.
