Deuteronomy 28:53

53. Eat the fruit of thine own body The terrible straits to which the nation will be reduced are here described with graphic distinctness, as if an historian rather than a prophet held the pen. With greater minuteness is the horrible distress portrayed in the verses that follow. The man accustomed to luxurious living, the woman so delicate that the sole of her foot had not touched the ground, in the extremity of famine caused by the siege will forget all natural affection. See 2 Kings 6:28; also Josephus, Jewish War, book 7, chap. 2.
