Deuteronomy 28:49-58

49Jehovah will bring a nationH1471 against thee from afarH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, like as the eagleH5404 flieth, a nationH1471 whose tongueH3956 thou understandest not;

50a nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenance, which regardeth not the person of the oldH2205, nor is kind to the youngH5288;

51and he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, until thou be destroyedH8045; for he shall not leaveH7604 thee corn, newH8492 wineH8492, or oilH3323, offspring of thy kine, or increase of thy sheepH6629, until he have destroyedH8045 thee.

52And he shall besiege thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and strong wallsH2346 wherein thou trustedst comeH3381 down, throughout all thy landH776; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gatesH8179 in all thy landH776, which Jehovah thy 1GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.

53And in the siegeH4692, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH4689 thee, thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH1320, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323 whom Jehovah thy 2GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.

54The eyeH5869 of the manH376 in thy midst that is tenderH7390 and veryH3966 luxurious shall be evilH7489 towards his brotherH251, and the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and the residue of his children which he hath leftH3498;

55so that he will not giveH5414 to any of them of the fleshH1320 of his children that he eateth, because he hath nothing leftH7604 him in the siegeH4692 and in the straitness wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall distressH4689 thee in all thy gatesH8179.

56The eyeH5869 of the tenderH7390 and luxurious woman in thy midst who would not attempt to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 from luxuriousness and from tenderness, shall be evilH7489 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and her sonH1121, and her daughterH1323,

57because of her afterbirth which hath comeH3318 out between her feetH7272, and her children whom she shall bearH3205; for she shall secretly eatH398 them for want of everythingH3605 in the siegeH4692 and in the straitness wherewith thine enemyH341 shall distressH4689 thee in thy gatesH8179.

58If thou wilt not takeH8104 heedH8104 to do all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, to fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearful nameH8034, JEHOVAH THY GODH430;
