John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 28:57

Her young one — Heb. after — birth: that which was loathsome to behold, will now be pleasant to eat; and together with it she shall eat the child which was wrapt up in it, and may be included in this expression. Which she shall bear — Or, which she shall have born, that is, her more grown children. She shall eat them — This was fulfilled more than once, to the perpetual reproach of the Jewish nation. Never was the like done either by Greek or Barbarian. See the fruit of being abandoned by God!

(t) Hunger will so bite her, that she will be ready to eat her child before it is delivered.
