- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ideo patres comedent filios in medio tui, et filii comedent patres suos : et faciam in te judicia, et ventilabo universas reliquias tuas in omnem ventum.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- διὰ τοῦτο πατέρες φάγονται τέκνα ἐν μέσῳ σου, καὶ τέκνα φάγονται πατέρας· καὶ ποιήσω ἐν σοὶ κρίματα, καὶ διασκορπιῶ πάντας τοὺς καταλοίπους σου εἰς πάντα ἄνεμον.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- לָכֵ֗ן אָב֞וֹת יֹאכְל֤וּ בָנִים֙ בְּתוֹכֵ֔ךְ וּבָנִ֖ים יֹאכְל֣וּ אֲבוֹתָ֑ם וְעָשִׂ֤יתִי בָךְ֙ שְׁפָטִ֔ים וְזֵרִיתִ֥י אֶת כָּל שְׁאֵרִיתֵ֖ךְ לְכָל רֽוּחַ
Haydock's commentary
Fathers. This is not specified in history. Famine prevailed, 4 Kings xxv. 3.; and we find something similar, Lamentations iv. 10., (Calmet) and Baruch ii. (Worthington)
It is probable, therefore, that these threats were realized. (Theodoret) (Deuteronomy xxviii. 53.)
Scatter. Literally, "winnow." (Haydock)
The Jewish nation was never again all together in the promised land.
