47 The Lord blessed you in every way, but you would not serve him with glad and joyful hearts.
48 So then, you will serve the enemies that the Lord is going to send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, and naked — in need of everything. The Lord; or Your enemies. will oppress you harshly until you are destroyed.
49 The Lord will bring against you a nation from the ends of the earth, a nation whose language you do not know. They will swoop down on you like an eagle.
50 They will be ruthless and show no mercy to anyone, young or old.
51 They will eat your livestock and your crops, and you will starve to death. They will not leave you any corn, wine, olive oil, cattle, or sheep; and you will die.
52 They will attack every town in the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and the high, fortified walls in which you trust will fall.
53 “When your enemies are besieging your towns, you will become so desperate for food that you will even eat the children that the Lord your God has given you.
