What does Deuteronomy 28:57 mean?

She'll secretly refuse to share even the afterbirth or the babies she gives birth to, keeping it all for herself because she's so desperate and starving, right in the middle of the suffering and chaos your enemies bring upon you. Deuteronomy 28:57 - Modern Text Bible

(The verse paints a shocking picture of how extreme hunger and fear can drive people to act selfishly, even toward their own children.)
