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.

54 The sensitive and very refined man among you ^awill be hostile toward his brother, toward ^bthe wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind,

55 so that he will not give any of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and sensitivity,³ will refuse to the husband of her bosom, and to her son and her daughter,

57 her placenta which comes out ^afrom between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you at all your gates.

58 “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear ^athis glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD,

59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants ^aextraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.

60 Moreover He will bring back on you all ^athe diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you.
