⁵³And you shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and your daughters, whom Yahweh your God gave to you, during the siege and during the distress^g your enemy inflicts upon you. ⁵⁴The most refined and the very sensitive^h man among you shall be mean with his brotherⁱ and against his beloved wife^j and against the rest^k of his children that he has left over, ⁵⁵by refraining from giving^l to even one of them any of the meat of his children that he eats, because there is not anything that is left over for him during the siege and distress^m that your enemy inflicts upon you. ⁵⁶The most refined and the most delicate woman among you, who shallⁿ not venture to put the sole of her foot on the ground from being so delicate and from such gentleness, shall be mean to her beloved husband^o and against her son and against her daughter, ⁵⁷and even concerning her afterbirth that goes out^p from between her feet and also concerning her children that she bears, because she eats them for lack of anything in secret during the siege and during the distress^q that your enemy inflicts upon her in your towns.^r
