They wander around looking for food. They groan if they don’t find something that will satisfy them.

他们必走来走去，寻找食物，若不得饱就终夜在外。

他们到处走动觅食，若不饱足就咆哮不已。

他们到处走动觅食，若不饱足就咆哮不已。

四处觅食，吃不饱就狂吠不止。

他们四处飘流，寻找食物；如果得不到饱足，就不断咆哮。

他们四处漂泊就是为了吃，如果没有饱足，他们就抱怨。

他們必走來走去，尋找食物，若不得飽就終夜在外。

他們到處走動覓食，若不飽足就咆哮不已。

他們到處走動覓食，若不飽足就咆哮不已。

四處覓食，吃不飽就狂吠不止。

他們四處飄流，尋找食物；如果得不到飽足，就不斷咆哮。

他們四處流離找食物；若不得飽就嘷。

他們四處漂泊就是為了吃，如果沒有飽足，他們就抱怨。

流離求食、若不得飽、終夜而待兮、

遍求口食、不得一飽、而出怨言兮。

必飄流乞食、不得飽食度夜、

嗟群犬之狺狺兮。乘暮夜而狂吠。

They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.

They wander about for food and growl if they do not get their fill.

They scavenge for food but go to sleep unsatisfied.

They scavenge for food; they growl if they are not satisfied.

They wander about for food And murmur if they are not satisfied.

They wander up and down for food, And howl if they are not satisfied.

They shall wander up and down for food, And tarry all night if they be not satisfied.

They scavenge for food; they growl if they are not satisfied.

Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

They wander around looking for something to eat; they refuse to sleep until they are full.

They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.

Like vultures, they look around for food. They know that the day they will die is near.

May their children be driven from their destroyed homes. May they wander around like beggars.

Your enemies will surround you and attack you. They will make you suffer greatly. So you will eat your own children. You will eat the dead bodies of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you.There may be a gentle and caring man among you. But he will treat his own brother badly. He’ll be just as mean to the wife he loves and to any of his children who are still alive.He won’t give to a single one of them any part of the dead bodies of his children that he’s eating. It will be all he has left to eat. That’s how much your enemies will make you suffer when they surround all your cities and attack them.There may be a gentle and caring woman among you. She wouldn’t even touch the ground with her feet without first putting her sandals on. But she will not share anything with the husband she loves. She won’t share with her own children either.She will eat what comes out of her body after she has a baby. Then she’ll even eat her baby. She won’t share it with anyone in her family. In her great hunger she’ll plan to eat it in secret. There won’t be anything else for her to eat because the city she lives in will be surrounded. That’s an example of how much your enemies will make you suffer when they are attacking your cities.Be careful to follow all the words of this law. They are written in this scroll. Have respect for the glorious and wonderful name of the Lord your God. If you don’t,

The Lord says,“ The prophets are those who lead my people astray. If my people feed them, the prophets promise them peace. If my people do not feed them, the prophets prepare to go to war against them.

When the babies get thirsty, their tongues stick to the roofs of their mouths. When the children beg for bread, no one gives them any.Those who once ate fine food are dying in the streets. Those who wore royal clothes are now lying on piles of trash.

They will suffer and be hungry. They’ll wander through the land. When they are very hungry, they will become angry. They’ll look up toward heaven. They’ll ask for bad things to happen to their king and their God.

Nation will fight against nation. Kingdom will fight against kingdom. People will go hungry. There will be earthquakes in many places.All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Those killed by swords are better off than those who die of hunger. Those who are hungry waste away to nothing. They don’t have any food from the fields.With their own hands, loving mothers have had to cook even their own children. They ate their children when my people were destroyed.

They are like dogs that love to eat. They never get enough. They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding. All of them do as they please. They only look for what they can get for themselves.

We put our lives in danger just to get some bread to eat. Robbers in the desert might kill us with their swords.

So he will send enemies against you. You will have to serve them. You will be hungry and thirsty. You will be naked and poor. The Lord will put the iron chains of slavery around your necks until he has destroyed you.

“ But now those who are younger than I am make fun of me. I wouldn’t even put their parents with my sheep dogs!Their strong hands couldn’t give me any help. That’s because their strength was gone.They were weak because they were needy and hungry. They wandered through dry and empty deserts at night.Among the bushes they gathered salty plants. They ate the roots of desert bushes.They were driven away from human society. They were shouted at as if they were robbers.They were forced to live in dry stream beds. They had to stay among rocks and in holes in the ground.Like donkeys they cried out among the bushes. There they crowded together and hid.

There wasn’t enough food anywhere in the city. It was surrounded for so long that people had to weigh out two pounds of silver for a donkey’s head. They had to weigh out two ounces of silver for half a pint of seed pods.One day the king of Israel was walking on top of the city wall. A woman cried out to him,“ You are my king and master. Please help me!”The king replied,“ If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”He continued,“ What’s wrong?” She answered,“ A woman said to me,‘ Give up your son. Then we can eat him today. Tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’So we cooked my son. Then we ate him. The next day I said to her,‘ Give up your son. Then we can eat him.’ But she had hidden him.”
