Deuteronomy 28:52-57

[52] And he shall besiege  thee in all thy gates,  until thy high  and fenced  walls  come down,  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. [53] 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: [54] So that the man  that is tender  among you, and very  delicate,  his eye  toward his brother,  and toward the wife  of his bosom,  and toward the remnant  of his children  which he shall leave:  [55] 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.  [56] 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  toward the husband  of her bosom,  and toward her son,  and toward her daughter,  [57] 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.
