49.50 The Lord will stir up, &c. 51 The same shall eat the fruit of thy Cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be rooted out, and he shall leave thee neither Corn, wine, nor Oil, nor any fruit of thy Cattle, nor of the flocks of thy sheep, until he have brought thee to nought. 52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy Townes, until he have cast down thy high and strong walls, wherein thou diddest put thy trust throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy Townes throughout all the land that the Lord thy God hath given thee. 53 Thou shalt eat the fruit of thy womb even the flesh of thy sons and daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege and distress wherewith thine enemy shall straiten thee. 54 In so much that the man which is tender and exceeding dainty among you shall be grieved to look upon his brother, and upon the wife in his bosom, and upon the rest of his children that be left, 55 And shall not give unto them of the flesh of his children, whereof he himself eateth, for fear least he should leave nothing at all for himself, by reason of the siege and straitness wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy Cities. 56 Yea and the woman that is so tender and nice among you, that she will not venture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground, because of her tenderness and niceness, shall be grieved to look upon the husband that lieth in her bosom, and upon her son and upon her daughter, 57 And upon the afterbirth which is come out from betwixt her legs, and upon the babes which she hath brought forth: for she shall eat them privily for want of all manner of things, in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy Cities. 58 If thou do not keep and perform all the words of this Law, which be written in this book, and fear this glorious and dreadful name of the Lord thy God▪
