Deuteronomy 28:49-64

49The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 againstH5921 thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as the eagleH5404 flieth; a nationH1471 whoseH834 tongueH3956 thou shalt notH3808 understandH8085;

50a nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, whichH834 shall notH3808 regardH6440 the person of the oldH2205, norH3808 shew favour to the youngH5288:

51and he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, untilH5704 thou be destroyedH8045: whichH834 also shall notH3808 leaveH7604 thee corn, wineH8492, or oilH3323, the increaseH7698 of thy kine, or the youngH6251 of thy flockH6629, untilH5704 he have causedH834 thee to perishH6.

52And he shall besiege thee in allH3605 thy gatesH8179, untilH5704 thy highH1364 and fenced wallsH2346 comeH3381 downH3381, whereinH834 thou trustedst, throughoutH3605 allH3605 thy landH776: and he shall besiege thee in allH3605 thy gatesH8179 throughoutH3605 allH3605 thy landH776, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee.

53And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thine own bodyH1320, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee; in the siegeH4692 and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemiesH341 shall straiten thee.

54The manH376 that is tenderH7390 among youH834, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH7489 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnantH3498 of his childrenH1121 whichH834 he hath remainingH3498:

55soH5414 that he will notH398 giveH5414 to anyH3605 of them of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whomH834 he shall eatH398, becauseH834 he hath nothingH3605 leftH7604 him; in the siegeH4692 and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemyH341 shall straiten thee in allH3605 thy gatesH8179.

56The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 womanH1323 among youH834, whichH834 would notH3808 adventure to setH3322 the soleH3709 of herH5921 footH7272 uponH5921 the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and tenderness, herH5921 eyeH5869 shall be evilH7489 towardH5921 the husbandH376 of herH5921 bosomH2436, and towardH5921 herH5921 sonH1121, and towardH5921 herH5921 daughterH1323;

57and toward herH3605 youngH1121 one that cometh outH3318 from betweenH996 herH3605 feetH7272, and toward herH3605 childrenH1121 whichH834 sheH834 shall bearH3205; for sheH834 shall eatH398 them for want of allH3605 things secretly: in the siegeH4692 and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemyH341 shall straiten thee in thy gatesH8179.

58IfH518 thou wilt notH3808 observeH8104 to doH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, that thou mayest fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearfulH3372 nameH8034, THE LORDH3068 THY GODH430;

59then the LORDH3068 will make thy plaguesH4347 wonderfulH6381, and the plaguesH4347 of thy seedH2233, evenH853 greatH1419 plaguesH4347, and of long continuance, and sore sicknessesH2483, and of long continuance.

60And he will bringH7725 upon thee againH7725 allH3605 the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, whichH834 thou wast afraidH3025 of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

61Also everyH3605 sicknessH2483, and everyH3605 plagueH4347, whichH834 is notH3808 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this lawH8451, them will the LORDH3068 bringH5927 uponH5921 thee, untilH5704 thou be destroyedH8045.

62And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH7230, whereasH8478 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; becauseH3588 thou didst notH3808 hearken unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.

63And it shall comeH935 to passH935, that as the LORDH3068 rejoicedH7797 over youH859 to doH3190 youH859 goodH3190, and to multiplyH7235 youH859; soH3651 the LORDH3068 will rejoiceH7797 over youH859 to causeH1961 youH859 to perishH6, and to destroyH8045 youH859; and ye shall be plucked from offH5921 the landH127 whither thou goest in to possessH3423 it.

64And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among allH3605 peoplesH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 evenH5704 unto the otherH312 endH7097 of the earthH776; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, whichH834 thou hast notH3808 knownH3045, thou norH3808 thy fathersH1, evenH5704 woodH6086 and stoneH68.
