2 Kings 6:27-29

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁷ He said, ‘No! Let the Lord help you. How can I help you? From the threshing-floor or from the wine press?’ ²⁸ But then the king asked her, ‘What is your complaint?’ She answered, ‘This woman said to me, “Give up your son; we will eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.” ²⁹ So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, “Give up your son and we will eat him.” But she has hidden her son.’
