Deuteronomy 28:49–57

^49mThe Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, ⁿas swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not ^†understand; ⁵⁰A nation ^†of fierce countenance, ^owhich shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: ⁵¹And he shall ^peat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. ⁵²And he shall ^qbesiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. ⁵³And ^rthou shalt eat the fruit of thine own ^†body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, ^sin the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: ⁵⁴So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, ^this eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward ^uthe wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: ⁵⁵So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him ^sin the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶The ^wtender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, ^ther eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ⁵⁷And toward her ^†young one that cometh out ^xfrom between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly ^sin the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
