Deuteronomy 28:52-57
521It shall besiege you in all your 2towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your 3towns throughout your land which the Lord your God has given you. 534Then you shall eat the 5offspring 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 6oppress you. 54The man who is 7refined and very delicate among you 8shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife 9he 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 10oppress you in all your 11towns. 5612The 13refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and 14refinement, 15shall be hostile toward the husband 16she cherishes and toward her son and daughter, 57and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her 17legs and toward her children whom she bears; for 18she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will 19oppress you in your 20towns.
