Deuteronomy 28:55-57
Lexham English Bible
55 by refraining from giving[a] to even one of them any of the meat of his children that he eats, because there is not anything that is left over for him during the siege and distress[b] that your enemy inflicts upon you. 56 The most refined and the most delicate woman among you, who shall[c] not venture to put the sole of her foot on the ground from being so delicate and from such gentleness, shall be mean to her beloved husband[d] and against her son and against her daughter, 57 and even concerning her afterbirth that goes out[e] from between her feet and also concerning her children that she bears, because she eats them for lack of anything in secret during the siege and during the distress[f] that your enemy inflicts upon her in your towns.[g]
