And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, etc. - This was literally fulfilled at the siege of Jerusalem. Josephus, Wars of the Jews, book vii., chap. ii., gives us a particular instance in dreadful detail of a woman named Mary, who, in the extremity of the famine during the siege, killed her sucking child, roasted, and had eaten part of it when discovered by the soldiers! See this threatened, Jeremiah 19:9 (note).
26:29 The flesh of your sons - Through extreme hunger.See Lamentations 4:10 .
