⁴⁵The Lord your God will send all of those curses on you. They will follow you everywhere. They’ll catch up with you. You will be under the Lord’s curse until you are destroyed. That’s because you didn’t obey him. You didn’t keep the commands and rules he gave you. ⁴⁶Those curses will remain as miraculous signs and wonders against you and your children after you forever.

⁴⁷You didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness when times were good. ⁴⁸So he will send enemies against you. You will have to serve them. You will be hungry and thirsty. You will be naked and poor. The Lord will put the iron chains of slavery around your necks until he has destroyed you.

⁴⁹The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away. It will come from the ends of the earth. It will dive down on you like an eagle. You won’t understand that nation’s language. ⁵⁰Its people will look mean. They won’t have any respect for old people. They won’t show any kindness to young people.

⁵¹They will eat up the young animals among your livestock. They’ll eat up the crops on your land. They’ll destroy you. They won’t leave you any grain, olive oil or fresh wine. They won’t leave you any calves or lambs. They’ll destroy you. ⁵²They’ll surround all of the cities through your whole land. They’ll get ready to attack them. They’ll do those things until the high, strong walls you trust in fall down. That’s what will happen to the cities in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
