Et je leur ferai manger la chair de leurs fils et la chair de leurs filles; et ils mangeront la chair l'un de l'autre, dans le siège et dans l'extrémité où les réduiront leurs ennemis et ceux qui cherchent leur vie.
Et je leur ferai manger la chair de leurs fils et la chair de leurs filles; et ils mangeront chacun la chair de son prochain, dans le siège et dans la détresse dont les enserreront leurs ennemis et ceux qui cherchent leur vie.
Je leur ferai manger la chair de leurs fils et la chair de leurs filles, Et les uns mangeront la chair des autres, Au milieu de l'angoisse et de la détresse Où les réduiront leurs ennemis Et ceux qui en veulent à leur vie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters,.... For want of food; the famine should be so great and pressing. Jeremiah, that foretells this, was a witness of it, and has left it on record, Lamentations 4:10;
and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend. The Targum interprets it, the goods or substance of his neighbour; which is sometimes the sense of eating the flesh of another; but as it is to be taken in a literal sense, in the preceding clause, so in this: so it should be,
in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them; the siege of Jerusalem should be so close, that no provision could be got in to the relief of the inhabitants; which obliged them to take the shocking methods before mentioned. Jerom observes, that though this was fulfilled at the Babylonish captivity, yet more fully when Jerusalem was besieged by Vespasian and Titus, and in the times of Hadrian. Josephus q gives us a most shocking relation of a woman eating her own son.
q De Bello Jud. l. 6. c. 3. sect. 4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 19:9. I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons — This was literally fulfilled when Jerusalem was besieged by the Romans. This also the prophet might have had in view.
