Deuteronomy 28:55-57

Expanded Bible

⁵⁵ He will not even give them any of the flesh of his children he is eating, because it will be all he has left. ·Your enemy will surround you and make you starve [^LIn the dire position that the siege of your enemies places you] in all your ·cities [^Lgates]. ⁵⁶ The most gentle and kind woman among you, so gentle and kind she would hardly even walk on the ground, will ·be cruel [look threateningly] to her husband ·whom she loves [^Lof her lap] and to her son and daughter. ⁵⁷ She will give birth to a baby, but she will plan to eat the baby and ·what comes after the birth itself [the afterbirth; ^Lthat which comes out between her feet]. She will eat them secretly ·while the enemy surrounds the city. Those people will make you starve in all your cities [^L…in the dire position that the siege of your enemies places you; Lam. 2:20].
