^29 (A)For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!’

¹⁹ But ^(A)woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!

^23 (A)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. ²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles ^(B)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

^17 (A)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! ¹⁸ And pray that your flight may not be in winter. ^19 (B)For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

^53 (A)You shall eat the ^[a]fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you. ⁵⁴ The ^[b]sensitive and very refined man among you ^(B)will^[c] be hostile toward his brother, toward ^(C)the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind, ⁵⁵ so that he will not give any of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates. ⁵⁶ The ^[d]tender and ^[e]delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity, ^[f]will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter, ⁵⁷ her ^[g]placenta which comes out ^(D)from between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.
