And they shall eat up thy corn, and thy bread: they shall devour thy sons, and thy daughters: they shall eat up thy flocks, and thy herds: they shall eat thy vineyards, and thy figs: and with the sword they shall destroy thy strong cities, wherein thou trustest.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et comedet segetes tuas et panem tuum ; devorabit filios tuos et filias tuas ; comedet gregem tuum et armenta tua ; comedet vineam tuam et ficum tuam : et conteret urbes munitas tuas, in quibus tu habes fiduciam, gladio.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ τοὺς ἄρτους ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τὰ πρόβατα ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς μόσχους ὑμῶν, καὶ κατέδονται τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς συκῶνας ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν· καὶ ἀλοήσουσιν τὰς πόλεις, τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ὑμῶν, ἐφ᾽ αἷς ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε ἐπ᾽ αὐταῖς, ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְאָכַ֨ל קְצִֽירְךָ֜ וְלַחְמֶ֗ךָ יֹאכְלוּ֙ בָּנֶ֣יךָ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יךָ יֹאכַ֤ל צֹאנְךָ֙ וּבְקָרֶ֔ךָ יֹאכַ֥ל גַּפְנְךָ֖ וּתְאֵנָתֶ֑ךָ יְרֹשֵׁ֞שׁ עָרֵ֣י מִבְצָרֶ֗יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתָּ֛ה בּוֹטֵ֥חַ בָּהֵ֖נָּה בֶּחָֽרֶב

Devour. Hebrew, "destroy." They did not eat human flesh.
