Leviticus
26:28–29
But if, despite this, you disobey me . . . you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. (This is an example of gender equality in the bible.)
Isaiah
49:25–26
But this is what the Lord says . . . I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood.
Deuteronomy
28:47–57
Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart . . . you shall eat the offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you. . . . The man who is the most tender and delicately bred among you will grudge food . . . so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating. . . . The most tender and delicately bred woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will grudge to the husband of her bosom, to her son and to her daughter, her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because she will eat them secretly, for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.
Deuteronomy
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.
Isaiah
By the wrath of the Lord Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire. . . . Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring.
Leviticus
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Lamentations
Look, O Lord, and see! With whom hast thou dealt thus? Should women eat their offspring, the children of their tender care? Should priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Isaiah
But this is what the Lord says . . . I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am . . . the Mighty One of Jacob.
Jeremiah
And their carcasses will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. . . . And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege.
Lamentations
Happier were the victims of the sword than the victims of hunger, who pined away, stricken by want of the fruits of the field. The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people. The Lord gave full vent to his wrath, he poured out his hot anger.
Ezekiel
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations. Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again. Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents.
