53And byou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, cin 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 dbegrudge food to his brother, to ethe 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, gin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 hThe 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, jin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns. 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 kSo 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.”Isaiah 9:20
