She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,

Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has proved herself cruel, Like ostriches in the wilderness.

Is it not indeed from the Lord of armies That peoples labor merely for fire, And nations become weary for nothing?

See, Lord, and look! With whom have You dealt this way? Should women really eat their children, The little ones who were born healthy? Should priest and prophet really be killed In the sanctuary of the Lord?

The labor of a fool makes him so weary that he does not even know how to go to a city.

But the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son, and she said,“ Pardon me, my lord! Give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other woman was saying,“ He shall be neither mine nor yours; cut him!”Then the king replied,“ Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.”

Then the king said to her,“ What is on your mind?” And she said,“ This woman said to me,‘ Give your son so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’So we cooked my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day,‘ Give your son, so that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

without understanding, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unmerciful;

The refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and tenderness, will be hostile toward the husband she cherishes and toward her son and daughter,and toward her afterbirth that comes from between her legs, and toward her children to whom she gives birth, because she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the hardship with which your enemy will oppress you in your towns.
