Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
The fathers shall eat the sons ... and the sons shall eat their fathers - alluding to Moses' words (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53), with the additional sad feature, that "the sons should eat their fathers" (see 2 Kings 6:28; Jeremiah 19:9; Lamentations 2:20; Lamentations 4:10).
