2 Kings 6:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:

²⁸ This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

²⁹ So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.
