Deuteronomy 28:57-59

Good News Translation

^56-57 (A)Even the most refined woman of noble birth, so rich that she has never had to walk anywhere, will behave in the same way. When the enemy besieges her town, she will become so desperate for food that she will secretly eat her newborn child and the afterbirth as well. She will not share them with the husband she loves or with any of her children.

⁵⁸ “If you do not obey faithfully all of God's teachings that are written in this book and if you do not honor the wonderful and awesome name of the Lord your God, ⁵⁹ he will send on you and on your descendants incurable diseases and horrible epidemics that can never be stopped.
