Deuteronomy 28:48-57

48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness, and lacking everything. And he ^awill put a yoke of iron on your neck until he has destroyed you. 49 ^bThe Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, ^cswooping down like the eagle, a nation ^dwhose language you do not understand, 50 a hard-faced nation ^ewho shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. 51 It shall ^feat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

52 “They shall ^gbesiege you in all your towns, until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your land, which the Lord your God has given you. 53 And ^hyou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, ⁱin the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you. 54 The man who is the most tender and refined among you will ^jbegrudge food to his brother, to ^kthe wife he embraces, ^{▼▼Hebrew the wife of his bosom} and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55 so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, ^min the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 ⁿThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces, ^{▼▼Hebrew the husband of her bosom} to her son and to her daughter, 57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, ^pin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.

Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem

1 For behold, the ^qLord God of hosts
is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah
support and supply, ^{▼▼Hebrew staff}
all ^ssupport of bread,
and all support of water;

Hosea 2:9-12

9 Therefore ^tI will take back
my grain in its time,
and my wine in its season,
and ^uI will take away my wool and my flax,
which were to cover her nakedness.
10 Now ^vI will uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers,
and no one shall rescue her out of my hand.
11 ^wAnd I will put an end to all her mirth,
her feasts, her ^xnew moons, her ^ySabbaths,
and all her ^zappointed feasts.
12 And ^aaI will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
^abof which she said,
‘These are ^acmy wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
^adand the beasts of the field shall devour them.
