Deuteronomy 28:53-55

531Then you shall eat the 2offspring 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 3oppress you.

54The man who is 4refined and very delicate among you 5shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife 6he 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 7oppress you in all your 8towns.
