7 In this place I will thwart the plans of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. I will deliver them over to the power of their enemies who are seeking to kill them. They will die by the sword at the hands of their enemies. I will make their dead bodies food for the birds and wild beasts to eat. 8 I will make this city an object of horror, a thing to be hissed at. All who pass by it will be filled with horror and will hiss out their scorn because of all the disasters that have happened to it. 9 I will reduce the people of this city to desperate straits during the siege imposed on it by their enemies who are seeking to kill them. I will make them so desperate that they will eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and the flesh of one another.”’”’

7 And I will slaughter the counsel of Judah and the counsel of Jerusalem in this place, and I will overthrow them with the sword before their enemies and by the hands of those who seek their souls. And I will give their corpses to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth for food. 8 And I will bring this city down for destruction and for hissing. Everyone who passes by it will look angry and will hiss on account of all its wound. 9 And they will eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and each one will eat the flesh of his neighbor in the fortification and siege with which their enemies will besiege them.”
