Deuteronomy 28:52-57

521And it will besiege you in all your 2towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it will besiege you in all your 3towns throughout your land which the Lord your God has given you. 534Then you will 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 hardship by which your enemy will 6oppress you. 54The man who is 7refined and very delicate among you 8will be hostile toward his brother, toward the wife 9he 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 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 because of her delicateness and tenderness, 14will be hostile toward the husband 15she cherishes and toward her son and daughter, 57and toward her afterbirth that comes from between her 16legs, and toward her children to whom she gives birth, because 17she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the hardship with which your enemy will 18oppress you in your 19towns.
