Deuteronomy 28:49-55
49“1The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, 2as the eagle swoops down; a nation whose language you will not understand,
50a nation 3with a defiant attitude, who will 4have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young.
51Furthermore, it will eat the 5offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed; a nation that will leave you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the newborn of your cattle or the young of your flock, until they have eliminated you.
526And it will besiege you in all your 7towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it will besiege you in all your 8towns throughout your land which the Lord your God has given you.
539Then you will eat the 10offspring 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 hardship by which your enemy will 11oppress you.
54The man who is 12refined and very delicate among you 13will be hostile toward his brother, toward the wife 14he cherishes, and toward the rest of his children who are left,
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 hardship by which your enemy will 15oppress you in all your 16towns.
