05:028:052 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high
and fenced walls come down, wherein 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.
05:028:053 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:
05:028:054 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate,
his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his
bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
05:028:055 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.
05:028:056 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 shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom,
and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
05:028:057 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.

which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
05:028:061 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written

be destroyed.
05:028:062 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the
stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice
