She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain,

Ostriches are mean to their little ones. They treat them as if they did not belong to them. They do not care that their work was useless.

She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,

豺狼尚且哺養自己的幼兒，我的子民卻像荒野的鴕鳥一樣殘忍無情。

列邦的財富都化為灰燼，列國勞碌卻是一場空。這不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？

「耶和華啊，求你看看，你曾這樣對付過誰呢？母親豈能吃自己的孩子？祭司和先知豈能在主的聖所中被殺？

愚人因勞碌而精疲力盡，連進城的路也認不出來。

活孩子的母親心疼自己的孩子，就說：「我主啊，把孩子給她吧，千萬不要殺他！」但另一個女人卻說：「孩子不歸我，也不歸你，把他劈開吧！」王說：「不可殺這孩子，把他交給剛才為孩子求情的女人吧！她是孩子的母親。」

你有什麼難處呢？」婦人說：「這個女人對我說，『我們今天吃你兒子，明天再吃我兒子。』於是我們把我兒子煮了吃。第二天我叫她把她兒子交出來，她卻把兒子藏了起來。」

愚鈍無知、不守信用、無情無義、毫無憐憫。

因為被敵人困在城中，饑餓難熬，連你們中間最溫柔、嬌嫩得連腳也不肯踏在地上的婦女，都要偷偷吃掉自己生的嬰兒和胎胞，不肯分給所愛的丈夫和子女。
