Deuteronomy 28:48-57 therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, whom Yahweh will send against thee, with hunger, and with thirst, and with nakedness, and with want of all things,––and he, will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁸ therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, whom Yahweh will send against thee, with hunger, and with thirst, and with nakedness, and with want of all things,––and he, will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ Yahweh will bring against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as darteth a bird of prey,––a nation whose tongue thou canst not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance,––who wilt not respect an elder, nor to the young, show favour; ⁵¹ then shall he eat the young of thy cattle and the fruit of thy ground, until thou art destroyed, who will not leave for thee corn, new wine or oil, the young of thy kine, or the ewes of thy flock,––until he hath caused thee to perish. ⁵² And he shall lay siege to thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, wherein thou wast trusting, in all thy land,––yea he will lay siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which, Yahweh thy God, hath given, unto thee. ⁵³ And thou wilt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Yahweh thy God, hath given unto thee––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee. ⁵⁴ The man that is tender among you, and exceedingly delicate, his eye will be jealous of his brother, and of the wife of his bosom, and of the remnant of his sons, whom be might leave behind; ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any one of them, of the flesh of his sons which he will eat, because he hath nothing at all left him,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who hath never adventured the sole of her foot, to set it upon the ground, through delicateness and through tenderness, her eye shall be jealous of the husband of her bosom, and of her own son, and of her own daughter; ⁵⁷ both as to her afterbirth that cometh forth from between her feet, and as to her children which she shall bear, for she will eat them for want of all things, secretly,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within thine own gates.
