English Standard Version, Ecclesiastes 4:
Psalm 27:
Isaiah 49:
Amplified Bible:5 The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
Similar metaphors are found elsewhere.The fool folds his hands [together] and consumes his own flesh [destroying himself by idleness and apathy].
Psalm 27:
It is a symbol of destruction.2 When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
Isaiah 49:
Micah 3:26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the LORD your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Evil people destroy themselves or others.3 who eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones in pieces and chop them up like meat in a pot, like flesh in a cauldron.
