Deuteronomy 28:49-68

49“1The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, 2as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand, 50a nation of fierce countenance who will 3have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young. 51Moreover, it shall eat the 4offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed, who also leaves you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the increase of your herd or the young of your flock until they have caused you to perish. 525It shall besiege you in all your 6towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your 7towns throughout your land which the Lord your God has given you. 538Then you shall eat the 9offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will 10oppress you. 54The man who is 11refined and very delicate among you 12shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife 13he cherishes and toward the rest of his children who remain, 55so that he will not give even one of them any of the flesh of his children which he will eat, since he has nothing else left, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will 14oppress you in all your 15towns. 5616The 17refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and 18refinement, 19shall be hostile toward the husband 20she cherishes and toward her son and daughter, 57and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her 21legs and toward her children whom she bears; for 22she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will 23oppress you in your 24towns.

58“If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to 2526fear this honored and awesome 27name, 28the Lord your God, 59then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you and 29your descendants, even 30severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. 6031He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you. 61Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the Lord will bring on you 32until you are destroyed. 62Then you shall be left few in number, 33whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you did not 34obey the Lord your God. 63It shall come about that as the Lord 35delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the Lord will 36delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be 37torn from the land where you are entering to possess it. 64Moreover, the Lord will 38scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall 39serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known. 6540Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there 41the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul. 66So your life shall 42hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. 6743In the morning you shall say, ‘Would that it were evening!’ And at evening you shall say, ‘Would that it were morning!’ because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see. 68The Lord will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, ‘You will never see it again!’ And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.”
