Verse 53 is found in chapter 28 of Deuteronomy. The root of the judgment is identified as failure to serve the Lord with joy and gratitude amid abundance. Prosperity that should produce gratitude is replaced by self-sufficiency. The hunger, siege, and loss of food described afterward constitute a dramatic reversal of the agricultural blessings previously promised.

Du wirst die Frucht deines Leibes essen, das Fleisch deiner Söhne und Töchter, die dir der HERR, dein Gott, gegeben hat, in der Angst und Not, womit dich dein Feind bedrängen wird,
Y comerás el fruto de tu vientre, la carne de tus hijos y de tus hijas que Jehová tu Dios te dio, en el cerco y en al apuro con que te angustiará tu enemigo.
Au milieu de l'angoisse et de la détresse où te réduira ton ennemi, tu mangeras le fruit de tes entrailles, la chair de tes fils et de tes filles que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, t'aura donnés.
E tu mangerai il frutto del tuo seno, la carne de’ tuoi figliuoli, e delle tue figliuole, che il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà date, nell’assedio, e nella distretta, della quale i tuoi nemici ti stringeranno.
E comerás o fruto do teu ventre, a carne de teus filhos e de tuas filhas, que te der o SENHOR teu Deus, no cerco e no aperto com que os teus inimigos te apertarão.
你在仇敵圍困的窘迫中,必吃你本身所生的,就是耶和華-你上帝所賜給你的兒女之肉。
