'Children' in the Bible

Her foes have become [her] {master}, her enemies are at ease; Yahweh has made her suffer because of the greatness of her transgressions. Her children have gone away, captive before the foe.

"Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches; pour out your heart like water, before the face of the Lord. Lift to him your hands, for the life of your children, who faint in starvation, at the head of all streets."

See, Yahweh, and take note! With whom have you dealt thus? Should women eat their young children of tender care? Should priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The tongue of the nursling cleaves to its palate in thirst. Children beg [for] food, {no one lays it out before them}.

[The] hands of compassionate women, have cooked their children; they became as something to eat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
