Deuteronomy 28:51

51 They'll eat the offspring of your animals and the crops from your fields until you're destroyed. They'll leave you no grain, no new wine, no olive oil, no calves from your herds, and no lambs or kids from your flocks. They'll continue to do this until they've completely ruined you.

Deuteronomy 28:51 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:51

And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle
Larger and lesser, oxen and sheep, as their calves and lambs, and kids of the goat:

and the fruit of thy land;
their wheat, barley, figs, grapes, pomegranates, olives, and dates:

until thou be destroyed;
the land of Judea, and all the increase of it: this being before said, ( Deuteronomy 28:31 Deuteronomy 28:33 ) ; and here repeated, shows that the same should be fulfilled at different times, as by the Chaldeans, so by the Romans; whose nation, or army, with their general at the head of them, may be more especially here intended by "he", that should eat up their fruit until utter destruction was brought upon them:

which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or]
the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have
destroyed thee;
all being consumed by the Roman army. There is a promise and prophecy, that though this would be the case, as it has been, there shall be a time when it shall be so no more; see ( Isaiah 62:8 Isaiah 62:9 ) .

Deuteronomy 28:51 In-Context

49 The LORD will bring against you a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth. The nation will swoop down on you like an eagle. It will be a nation whose language you won't understand.
50 Its people will be fierce-looking. They will show no respect for the old and no pity for the young.
51 They'll eat the offspring of your animals and the crops from your fields until you're destroyed. They'll leave you no grain, no new wine, no olive oil, no calves from your herds, and no lambs or kids from your flocks. They'll continue to do this until they've completely ruined you.
52 They will blockade all your cities until the high, fortified walls in which you trust come down everywhere in your land. They'll blockade all the cities everywhere in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
53 Because of the hardships your enemies will make you suffer during the blockade, you will eat the flesh of your own children, the sons and daughters, whom the LORD your God has given you.
