Legacy Standard Bible

^52 (A)And it shall besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your gates throughout your land which Yahweh your God has given you. ^53 (B)Then you shall eat the ^[a]offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom Yahweh your God has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will ^[b]oppress you. ⁵⁴ The man who is ^[c]refined and very delicate among you ^[d]shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife ^[e]he cherishes and toward the rest of his children who remain, ⁵⁵ so that he will not give even one of them any of the flesh of his children which he will eat, since he has nothing else remaining, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will ^[f]oppress you in all your gates. ^56 (C)The ^[g]refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and ^[h]refinement, ^[i]shall be hostile toward the husband ^[j]she cherishes and toward her son and daughter, ⁵⁷ and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her ^[k]legs and toward her children whom she bears; for ^(D)she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will ^[l]oppress you in your gates.
