"Women snatched the food out of the very mouths of their husbands, and sons of their fathers, and (what is most miserable) mothers of their infants." "In every house, if there appeared any semblance of food, a battle ensued, and the dearest friends and relations fought with one another; snatching away the miserable provisions of life." "A woman distinguished by birth and wealth, after she had been plundered by the tyrants (or soldiers) of all her possessions, boiling her own sucking child, ate half of him, and concealing the other half, reserved it for another time!"

In no country are they treated as denizens; all suspect them as enemies, and behave to them as aliens; if they do not, as had been too frequently the case, harass, oppress, and persecute them, even unto death. shalt thou Gen 8:9; Isa 57:21; Ezek 5:12-17, Ezek 20:32-35; Amos 9:4, Amos 9:9-10 the Lord Lev 26:36; Isa 51:17; Ezek 12:18-19; Hos 11:10-11; Hab 3:16; Luke 21:26 failing of eyes Lev 26:16; Isa 65:14; Lam 3:65; Matt 24:8; Rom 11:10 Deut 28:67; Lam 1:13; Heb 10:27; Rev 6:15-17 Deut 28:34; Job 7:3-4; Rev 9:6 bring thee into Egypt This verse seems especially to point out an event, which took place subsequently to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, and the desolation made by Hadrian. Numbers of the captives were sent by sea into Egypt (as well as into other countries), and sold for slaves at a vile price, and for the meanest offices; and many thousands were left to perish from want; for the multitude was so great, that purchasers could not be found for them all at any price!
