Deuteronomy 28:45–52

⁴⁵“All these curses will come, pursue, and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commands and statutes He gave you. ⁴⁶These curses will be a sign and a wonder ^uagainst you and your descendants forever. ⁴⁷Because you didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, ^veven though you had an abundance of everything, ⁴⁸you will serve your enemies the Lord will send against you, in famine, thirst, nakedness, and a lack of everything. He will place an iron yoke ^won your neck until He has destroyed you. ⁴⁹The Lord will bring a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth, ^xto swoop down on you like an eagle, ^ya nation whose language you don’t understand, ^z50a ruthless nation, ^ashowing no respect for the old and not sparing the young. ⁵¹They will eat the offspring of your livestock and your land’s produce until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine, oil, young of your herds, or newborn of your flocks until they cause you to perish. ⁵²They will besiege you within all your gates until your high and fortified walls, that you trust in, come down throughout your land. They will besiege you within all your gates throughout the land the Lord your God has given you.
