Deuteronomy 28:49

47 ^a“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, ^bfor the abundance of everything,

48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in ^ahunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He ^bwill put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

49 ^aThe Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, ^bas swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,

50 a nation of fierce countenance, ^awhich does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young.

51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

52 “They shall ^abesiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

53 ^aYou shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you.
