Deuteronomy 28:53-57
New International Version
53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.(A) 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.(B) 56 The most gentle and sensitive(C) woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter(D) 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them(E) secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
Deuteronomy 28:53-57
King James Version
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

New King James Version
53 (A)You shall eat the [a]fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you. 54 The [b]sensitive and very refined man among you (B)will[c] be hostile toward his brother, toward (C)the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind, 55 so that he will not give any of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates. 56 The [d]tender and [e]delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, [f]will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter, 57 her [g]placenta which comes out (D)from between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

Isaiah 9:18-21
New International Version
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(A)
it consumes briers and thorns,(B)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(C)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(D) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(E)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(F)
they will not spare one another.(G)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(H)
on the left they will eat,(I)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[a]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(J)
together they will turn against Judah.(K)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(L)

King James Version
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
