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 and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 19 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah breaks a clay jar in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom as a sign of destruction that cannot be repaired. The place associated with abominable sacrifices will become a scene of judgment. The symbolic action turns an abstract sentence into a physical image of the irreversibility of the approaching disaster.

Ich will sie lassen ihrer Söhne und Töchter Fleisch fressen, und einer soll des andern Fleisch fressen in der Not und Angst, damit sie ihre Feinde und die, so nach ihrem Leben stehen, bedrängen werden.
Y hareles comer la carne de sus hijos y la carne de sus hijas; y cada uno comerá la carne de su amigo, en el cerco y en el apuro con que los estrecharán sus enemigos y los que buscan sus almas.
Je leur ferai manger la chair de leurs fils et la chair de leurs filles, Et les uns mangeront la chair des autres, Au milieu de l'angoisse et de la détresse Où les réduiront leurs ennemis Et ceux qui en veulent à leur vie.
E farò che mangeranno la carne de’ lor figliuoli, e la carne delle lor figliuole; e ciascuno mangerà la carne del suo compagno, nell’assedio, e nella distretta, della quale i lor nemici, e quelli che cercano l’anima loro, li stringeranno
E lhes farei comer a carne de seus filhos e a carne de suas filhas, e comerá cada um a carne do seu amigo, no cerco e no aperto em que os apertarão os seus inimigos, e os que buscam a vida deles.
仇敵和尋索其命的人追逼他們,使他們落在圍困窘迫之中,我必使他們各人吃自己兒女的肉和朋友的肉。』
