Deuteronomy 28:49-64

49The LORDH3068 will bringH5375 a nationH1471 from afarH7350, from the ends ofH7097 the earthH776, to swoop downH1675 upon youH5921 likeH834 an eagleH5404—a nationH1471 whoseH834 languageH3956 you will notH3808 understandH8085, 50a ruthlessH5794H6440 nationH1471 with noH3808 respectH5375H6440 for the oldH2205 and noH3808 pityH2603 for the youngH5288. 51They will eatH398 the offspringH6529 of your livestockH929 and the produceH6529 of your landH127 untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045. They will leaveH7604 you noH3808 grainH1715 or new wineH8492 or oilH3323, no calvesH7698 of your herdsH504 or lambsH6251 of your flocksH6629, untilH5704 they have caused you to perishH6. 52They will besiegeH6887 allH3605 the citiesH8179 throughoutH3605 your landH776, untilH5704 the highH1364 and fortifiedH1219 wallsH2346 in whichH834 youH859 trustH982 have fallenH3381. They will besiegeH6887 allH3605 your citiesH8179 throughoutH3605 the landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you.

53Then you will eatH398 the fruitH6529 of your wombH990, the fleshH1320 of the sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 whomH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you, in the siegeH4692 and distressH4689 thatH834 your enemyH341 will inflictH6693 on you.

54The mostH3966 gentleH7390 and refinedH6028 manH376 among you will begrudgeH7489H5869 his brotherH251, the wifeH802 he embracesH2436,1 and the restH3499 of his childrenH1121 who have survivedH3498, 55refusing to shareH5414 with anyH259 of them the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 he will eatH398 because he has nothingH1097H3605 leftH7604 in the siegeH4692 and distressH4689 thatH834 your enemyH341 will inflictH6693 on you within allH3605 your gatesH8179.2

56The most gentleH7390 and refined womanH6028 among you, so gentleH7391 and refinedH6026 she would notH3808 ventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 onH5921 the groundH776, will begrudgeH7489H5869 the husbandH376 she embracesH24363 and her sonH1121 and daughterH1323 57the afterbirthH7988 that comesH3318 from betweenH996 her legsH7272 and the childrenH1121 she bearsH3205, becauseH3588 she will secretlyH5643 eat themH398 for lackH2640 of anything elseH3605 in the siegeH4692 and distressH4689 thatH834 your enemyH341 will inflictH6693 on you within your gatesH8179.

58IfH518 you are notH3808 carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2063 lawH8451 which are writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612, that you may fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and awesomeH3372H2088 nameH8034—the LORDH3068 your GodH430— 59HeH3068 will bring upon you and your descendantsH2233 extraordinaryH6381 disastersH4347, severeH1419 and lastingH539 plaguesH4347, and terribleH7451 and chronicH539 sicknessesH2483. 60He will afflict you againH7725 with allH3605 the diseasesH4064 you dreadedH3025 in EgyptH4714H6440, and they will clingH1692 to you.

61The LORDH3068 will alsoH1571 bringH5927 upon youH5921 everyH3605 sicknessH2483H3605 and plagueH4347 notH3808 recordedH3789 in thisH2063 BookH5612 of the LawH8451, untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045. 62You who wereH1961 as numerousH7230 as the starsH3556 in the skyH8064 will be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, becauseH3588 you would notH3808 obeyH8085 the voice ofH6963 the LORDH3068 your GodH430.

63

Just asH834 it pleasedH7797 the LORDH3068 to make you prosperH3190 and multiplyH7235, so alsoH3651 it will pleaseH7797 HimH3068H5921 to annihilateH6 youH853 and destroyH8045 youH853. And you will be uprootedH5255 fromH5921 the landH127 youH859 are enteringH935H8033 to possessH3423.

64Then the LORDH3068 will scatterH6327 you among allH3605 the nationsH5971, from one endH7097 of the earthH776 toH5704 the otherH7097H776, and thereH8033 you will worshipH5647 otherH312 godsH430, gods of woodH6086 and stoneH68, whichH834 neither youH859 norH3808 your fathersH1 have knownH3045.
