3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “women” →
Behold, O LORD , and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
