Deuteronomy 28:49–57

^49zThe Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, ^aswooping down like the eagle, a nation ^bwhose language you do not understand, ⁵⁰a hard-faced nation ^cwho shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. ⁵¹It shall ^deat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

⁵²“They shall ^ebesiege you in all your towns, until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your land, which the Lord your God has given you. ⁵³And ^fyou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, ^gin the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you. ⁵⁴The man who is the most tender and refined among you will ^hbegrudge food to his brother, to ⁱthe wife he embraces,⁴ and to the last of the children whom he has left, ⁵⁵so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, ^jin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. ^56kThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces,⁵ to her son and to her daughter, ⁵⁷her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, ^jin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.
