Deuteronomy 28:45-50

Expanded Bible

⁴⁵ All these curses will come upon you. They will ·chase [pursue] you and ·catch [overtake] you and destroy you, because you did not ·obey [listen to the voice of] the Lord your God and keep the commands and ·laws [statutes; ordinances; requirements] he ·gave [commanded] you. ⁴⁶ The curses will be signs and ·miracles [wonders] to you and your ·descendants [^Lseed] forever. ⁴⁷ You had plenty of everything, but you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and a ·pure [or glad] heart, ⁴⁸ so you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, naked, and poor, and the Lord will put a ·load on you [^Lyoke of bronze on your neck] until he has destroyed you [Jer. 28:14].

The Curse of an Enemy Nation

⁴⁹ The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the world, and it will swoop down like an eagle. You won’t ·understand their language [^Lhear its tongue; Jer. 5:15–17], ⁵⁰ and they will ·look mean [be stern-faced]. They will not ·respect [show favoritism to] old people or ·feel sorry for [favor; have compassion for] the young.
