And the LORD shall
bring a nation upon thee from afar, even from the end of the
world, as swift as an eagle fleeth: {flyeth} a nation whose tongue
thou shalt not understand: a hard favoured nation which shall not
regard the person of the old nor have compassion on the young. And
he shall eat the fruit of thy land and the fruit of thy cattle
until he have destroyed thee: so that he shall leave thee neither
corn, wine, nor oil, neither the increase of thine oxen nor the
flocks of thy sheep: until he have brought thee to nought. And he
shall keep thee in all thy cities, until thy high and strong walls
be come down wherein thou trustedest, thorow all thy land. And he
shall besiege thee in all thy cities thorowout all thy land which
the LORD thy God hath given thee. 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 that straitness and siege
wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee: so that it shall grieve
the man that is tender and exceeding delicate among you, to look
on his brother and upon his wife that lieth in his bosom and on
the remnant of his children, which he hath yet left, for fear of
giving unto any of them of the flesh of his children, which he
eateth, because he hath nought left him in that straitness and
siege wherewith thine enemy shall besiege thee in all thy cities.
