⁹ My lord the king, these men^◦ have done·​·evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah^◦ the prophet, whom they have cast into^▵ the pit; and he will die instead from the faces of hunger; for there is no more^◦ bread in the city.

⁹ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and a man^◦ shall eat the flesh of his companion, in the siege, and in the anguish, with which their enemies, and they who seek their souls, shall cause·​·anguish for them.
