- the famine:
- "[And] when I have brokenª° the staffª of your bread,ª tenª womenª shall bakeª° your breadª in oneª oven,ª and they shall deliver²° [you] your bread² againª°¹ by weight:ª and ye shall eat,ª° and not¹ be satisfied.ª°" {Lev 26:26} + "And he shall besiegeª° thee in all¹ thy gates,ª until¹ thy highª and fencedª° wallsª come down,ª° wherein²¹ thou¹ trustedst,ª° throughout all¹ thy land:ª and he shall besiegeª° thee in all¹ thy gatesª throughout all¹ thy land,ª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath givenª° thee. ... And thou shalt eatª° the fruitª of thine own body,ª the fleshª of thy sonsª and of thy daughters,ª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath givenª° thee, in the siege,ª and in the straitness,ª wherewith¹ thine enemiesª° shall distressª° thee:" {Deu 28:52-53} + "The tongueª of the sucking childª° cleavethª° to¹ the roof of his mouthª for thirst:ª the young childrenª askª° bread,ª [and] no man¹ breakethª° [it] unto them. ... The handsª of the pitifulª womenª have soddenª° their own children:ª they were¹ their meatª° in the destructionª of the daughterª of my people.ª" {Lam 4:4-10} + "Takeª° thou¹ also unto thee wheat,ª and barley,ª and beans,ª and lentiles,ª and millet,ª and fitches,ª and putª° them in oneª vessel,ª and makeª° thee breadª thereof, [according] to the numberª of the daysª that¹ thou¹ shalt lieª° upon¹ thy side,ª threeª hundredª and ninetyª daysª shalt thou eatª° thereof. ... That¹ they may wantª° breadª and water,ª and be astoniedª° oneª with another,ª and consume awayª° for their iniquity.ª" {Ezk 4:9-17} + "Therefore¹ the fathersª shall eatª° the sonsª in the midstª of thee, and the sonsª shall eatª° their fathers;ª and I will executeª° judgmentsª in thee, and¹ the whole¹ remnantª of thee will I scatterª° into all¹ the winds.ª" {Ezk 5:10} + "A third partª of thee shall dieª° with the pestilence,ª and with famineª shall they be consumedª° in the midstª of thee: and a third partª shall fallª° by the swordª round aboutª thee; and I will scatterª° a third partª into all¹ the winds,ª and I will draw outª° a swordª afterª them." {Ezk 5:12} + "The swordª [is] without,ª and the pestilenceª and the famineª within:ª¹ he that¹ [is] in the fieldª shall dieª° with the sword;ª and he that¹ [is] in the city,ª famineª and pestilenceª shall devourª° him." {Ezk 7:15} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª How much more¹ when¹ I sendª° my fourª soreª judgmentsª upon¹ Jerusalem,ª the sword,ª and the famine,ª and the noisomeª beast,ª and the pestilence,ª to cut offª° from¹ it manª and beast?ª" {Ezk 14:21}
