Deuteronomy:28:49-58
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far ,
from the end of the earth ,
as swift as the eagle flieth ;
a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand ;
*
A nation of fierce countenance ,
which shall not regard the person of the old ,
nor shew favour to the young na #
ar #:
*
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle ,
and the fruit of thy land ,
until thou be destroyed :
which also shall not leave thee either corn ,
wine ,
or oil ,
or the increase of thy kine ,
or flocks of thy sheep tso #
n #,
until he have destroyed thee .
*
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates sha #
ar #,
until thy high and fenced walls come down ,
wherein thou trustedst ,
throughout all thy land :
and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land ,
which the LORD thy God hath given thee .
*
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body ,
the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters ,
which the LORD thy God hath given thee ,
in the siege ,
and in the straitness ,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee :
*
So that the man that is tender among you ,
and very delicate ,
his eye shall be evil toward his brother ,
and toward the wife of his bosom ,
and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave :
*
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat :
because he hath nothing left him in the siege ,
and in the straitness ,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates sha #
ar #.
*
The tender and delicate woman among you ,
which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness ,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom ,
and toward her son ,
and toward her daughter ,
*
And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet ,
and toward her children which she shall bear :
for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness ,
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates sha #
ar #.

If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book ,
that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name ,
THE LORD THY GOD ;
