Deuteronomy 28:56-57
28:56 Likewise, the most
tender and delicate of your women, who would never think of putting even the sole of her foot on the ground because of her daintiness,
will turn against her beloved husband, her sons and daughters,
28:57 and will secretly eat her afterbirth
and her newborn children
(since she has nothing else),
because of the severity of the siege by which your enemy will constrict you in your villages.
Isaiah 3:16-26
Washing Away Impurity
3:16 The Lord says,
“The women of Zion are proud.
They walk with their heads high
and flirt with their eyes.
They skip along
and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.
3:17 So the sovereign master will afflict the foreheads of Zion’s women with skin diseases,
the Lord will make the front of their heads bald.”
3:18 At that time the sovereign master will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, neck ornaments, crescent shaped ornaments,
3:19 earrings, bracelets, veils,
3:20 headdresses, ankle ornaments, sashes, sachets, amulets,
3:21 rings, nose rings,
3:22 festive dresses, robes, shawls, purses,
3:23 garments, vests, head coverings, and gowns.
3:24 A putrid stench will replace the smell of spices,
a rope will replace a belt,
baldness will replace braided locks of hair,
a sackcloth garment will replace a fine robe,
and a prisoner’s brand will replace beauty.
3:25 Your men will fall by the sword,
your strong men will die in battle.
3:26 Her gates will mourn and lament;
deprived of her people, she will sit on the ground.
Lamentations 4:5-8
ה (He)
4:5 Those who once feasted on delicacies
are now starving to death in the streets.
Those who grew up wearing expensive clothes
are now dying amid garbage.
ו (Vav)
4:6 The punishment of my people
exceeded that of of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment
with no one to help her.
ז (Zayin)
4:7 Her consecrated ones were brighter than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies more ruddy than corals,
their hair like lapis lazuli.
ח (Khet)
4:8 Now their appearance is darker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it is dried up, like tree bark.
