They were shouting as they caught up with them. The men of Dan turned around and said to Micah,“ What’s the matter? Why have you called these men together and chased after us like this?”

Tenderhearted women have cooked their own children. They have eaten them to survive the siege.

“ What’s the trouble?” the king asked.“ Alas, I am a widow!” she replied.“ My husband is dead.

“ Why are you crying, Hannah?” Elkanah would ask.“ Why aren’t you eating? Why be downhearted just because you have no children? You have me— isn’t that better than having ten sons?”

They will attack their neighbor on the right but will still be hungry. They will devour their neighbor on the left but will not be satisfied.

“ The siege and terrible distress of the enemy’s attack will be so severe that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you.The most tenderhearted man among you will have no compassion for his own brother, his beloved wife, and his surviving children.He will refuse to share with them the flesh he is devouring— the flesh of one of his own children— because he has nothing else to eat during the siege and terrible distress that your enemy will inflict on all your towns.The most tender and delicate woman among you— so delicate she would not so much as touch the ground with her foot— will be selfish toward the husband she loves and toward her own son or daughter.She will hide from them the afterbirth and the new baby she has borne, so that she herself can secretly eat them. She will have nothing else to eat during the siege and terrible distress that your enemy will inflict on all your towns.

For the days are coming when they will say,‘ Fortunate indeed are the women who are childless, the wombs that have not borne a child and the breasts that have never nursed.’

What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
