56The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;
57And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
58If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;
59Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.
60He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.
61And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.
62And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
