KJVAnd thou shalt eat^H398^(H8804) the fruit^H6529 of thine own body^H990, the flesh^H1320 of thy sons^H1121 and of thy daughters^H1323, which the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 hath given^H5414^(H8804) thee, in the siege^H4692, and in the straitness^H4689, wherewith thine enemies^H341^(H8802) shall distress^H6693^(H8686) thee:

KJVSo that the man^H376 that is tender^H7390 among you, and very^H3966 delicate^H6028, his eye^H5869 shall be evil^H3415^(H8799) toward his brother^H251, and toward the wife^H802 of his bosom^H2436, and toward the remnant^H3499 of his children^H1121 which he shall leave^H3498^(H8686):

⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates.

KJVSo that he will not give^H5414^(H8800) to any^H259 of them of the flesh^H1320 of his children^H1121 whom he shall eat^H398^(H8799): because he hath nothing left^H7604^(H8689) him in the siege^H4692, and in the straitness^H4689, wherewith thine enemies^H341^(H8802) shall distress^H6693^(H8686) thee in all thy gates^H8179.

⁵⁷ toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates.

KJVAnd toward her young one^H7988 that cometh out^H3318^(H8802) from between her feet^H7272, and toward her children^H1121 which she shall bear^H3205^(H8799): for she shall eat^H398^(H8799) them for want^H2640 of all things secretly^H5643 in the siege^H4692 and straitness^H4689, wherewith thine enemy^H341^(H8802) shall distress^H6693^(H8686) thee in thy gates^H8179.

⁶³ It will happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, that as the LORD^H3068 rejoiced^H7797^(H8804) over you to do you good^H3190^(H8687), and to multiply^H7235^(H8687) you; so the LORD^H3068 will rejoice^H7797^(H8799) over you to destroy^H6^(H8687) you, and to bring you to nought^H8045^(H8687); and ye shall be plucked^H5255^(H8738) from off the land^H127 whither thou goest^H935^(H8802) to possess^H3423^(H8800) it.

KJVAnd among these^H1992 nations^H1471 shalt thou find no ease^H7280^(H8686), neither shall the sole^H3709 of thy foot^H7272 have rest^H4494: but the LORD^H3068 shall give^H5414^(H8804) thee there a trembling^H7268 heart^H3820, and failing^H3631 of eyes^H5869, and sorrow^H1671 of mind^H5315:

⁶⁶ Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.

KJVAnd thy life^H2416 shall hang^H8511^(H8803) in doubt before^H5048 thee; and thou shalt fear^H6342^(H8804) day^H3119 and night^H3915, and shalt have none assurance^H539^(H8686) of thy life^H2416:

⁶⁷ In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.

KJVIn the morning^H1242 thou shalt say^H559^(H8799), Would God it were^H5414^(H8799) even^H6153! and at even^H6153 thou shalt say^H559^(H8799), Would God it were^H5414^(H8799) morning^H1242! for the fear^H6343 of thine heart^H3824 wherewith thou shalt fear^H6342^(H8799), and for the sight^H4758 of thine eyes^H5869 which thou shalt see^H7200^(H8799).

⁶⁸ Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

KJVAnd the LORD^H3068 shall bring^H7725 thee into Egypt^H4714 again^H7725^(H8689) with ships^H591, by the way^H1870 whereof I spake^H559^(H8804) unto thee, Thou shalt see^H7200^(H8800) it no more again^H3254^(H8686): and there ye shall be sold^H4376^(H8694) unto your enemies^H341^(H8802) for bondmen^H5650 and bondwomen^H8198, and no man shall buy^H7069^(H8802) you.
