So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

Verse 55 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.

zu geben jemand unter ihnen von dem Fleisch seiner Söhne, das er ißt, sintemal ihm nichts übrig ist von allem Gut in der Angst und Not, womit dich dein Feind bedrängen wird in allen deinen Toren.
Para no dar a alguno de ellos de la carne de sus hijos, que él comerá, porque nada le habrá quedado, en el cerco y en el apuro con que tu enemigo te oprimirá en todas tus ciudades.
y no dará a ninguno de ellos parte de la carne de sus hijos que esté comiendo, porque no le habrá quedado nada más durante el asedio y la angustia con que tu enemigo te oprimirá en todas tus ciudades.
il ne donnera à aucun d'eux de la chair de ses enfants dont il fait sa nourriture, parce qu'il ne lui reste plus rien au milieu de l'angoisse et de la détresse où te réduira ton ennemi dans toutes tes portes.
per non dare ad alcun di loro nulla della carne degli altri suoi figliuoli, la quale egli mangerà; perciocchè non gli sarà rimasto nulla nell’assedio, e nella distretta, della quale i tuoi nemici ti stringeranno dentro a tutte le tue porte.
De sorte que não dará a nenhum deles da carne de seus filhos, que ele comer; porquanto nada lhe ficou de resto no cerco e no aperto, com que o teu inimigo te apertará em todas as tuas portas.
不把所吃兒女的肉分一點給他們任何一個人,因為在被仇敵圍困、陷入窘迫的各城中,他已經一無所剩了。
