Deuteronomy 28:62-68 ▼

62 And you? shall be left few men, instead of which you? were as stars of the heavens in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of YHWH your God.

63 And it shall come to pass that as YHWH rejoiced over you? to do good to you? and multiply you?, so YHWH will rejoice over you? to destroy you? and bring you? to nothing, and you? shall be plucked from off the land that you are going there to possess.

64 And YHWH will scatter you among all the peoples, from the end of the earth and to the end of the earth, and there you shall serve other gods—which neither you nor your fathers have known—wood and stone.

65 And among those nations you shall not find rest, nor shall you have a resting place for the sole of your foot. And there YHWH will give to you a trembling heart, and failing eyes, and anguish of soul.

66 And your life shall be hanging in doubt before you, and you shall dread night and day, and have no assurance of life.

67 In the morning you shall say, ‘Would that evening be granted!’ And at the evening you shall say, ‘Would that morning be granted!’ Because of the dread of your heart that you dread, and because of the sight of your eyes that you see.

68 And YHWH will take you back to Egypt in ships by the way of which I said to you, never will you add again to see it, and you? will sell yourselves there to your enemies for menservants and for maidservants, and no one will buy you.”
