Deuteronomy 28:55-57
English Standard Version
55 so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, (A)in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 (B)The most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces,[a] to her son and to her daughter, 57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, (C)in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.

Deuteronomy 28:55-57
New International Version
55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.(A) 56 The most gentle and sensitive(B) woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter(C) 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them(D) secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
