Deuteronomy 28:45-68

45“So allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 shall comeH935 on you and pursueH7291 you and overtakeH5381 you 1untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045, becauseH3588 you would not 2obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430 by keepingH8104 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 He commandedH6680 you. 46They shall becomeH1961 3a signH226 and a wonderH4159 on you and your 4descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.

47“5BecauseH8478H834 you did not serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430 with joyH8057 and a gladH2898 heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of allH3605 thingsH3605; 48therefore you shall serveH5647 your enemiesH340 whomH834 the LordH3068 will sendH7971 against you, 6in hungerH7458, in thirstH6772, in nakednessH5903, and in the lackH2640 of allH3605 thingsH3605; and He 7will putH5414 an ironH1270 yokeH5923 on your neckH6677 untilH5704 He has destroyedH8045 you.

49“8The LordH3068 will bringH5375 a nationH1471 againstH5921 you from afarH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, 9as the eagleH5404 swoopsH1675 downH1675, a nationH1471 whoseH834 languageH3956 you shall not understandH8085, 50a nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440 whoH834 will 10haveH5375 noH3808 respectH6440 for the oldH2205, norH3808 showH2603 favorH2603 to the youngH5288. 51Moreover, it shall eatH398 the 11offspringH6529 of your herdH929 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127 untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045, whoH834 also leavesH7604 you noH3808 grainH1715, newH8492 wineH8492, or oilH3323, norH3808 the increaseH7698 of your herdH504 or the youngH6251 of your flockH6629 untilH5704 they have caused you to perishH6. 5212It shall besiegeH6887 you in allH3605 your 13townsH8179 untilH5704 your highH1364 and fortifiedH1219 wallsH2346 in whichH834 you trustedH982 comeH3381 downH3381 throughoutH3605 your landH776, and it shall besiegeH6887 you in allH3605 your 14townsH8179 throughoutH3605 your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you. 5315Then you shall eatH398 the 16offspringH6529 of your own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121 and of your daughtersH1323 whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you, during the siegeH4692 and the distressH4689 by whichH834 your enemyH340 will 17oppressH6693 you. 54The manH376 who is 18refinedH7390 and veryH3966 delicateH6028 among you 19shall be hostileH7489 toward his brotherH251 and toward the wifeH802 20he cherishesH2436 and toward the restH3499 of his childrenH1121 whoH834 remainH3498, 55soH4480 that he will not giveH5414 even oneH259 of them anyH4480 of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whichH834 he will eatH398, sinceH4480 he has nothingH1097H3605 else leftH7604, during the siegeH4692 and the distressH4689 by whichH834 your enemyH340 will 21oppressH6693 you in allH3605 your 22townsH8179. 5623The 24refinedH7390 and delicateH6028 womanH6028 among you, whoH834 would not ventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 on the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and 25refinementH7391, 26shall be hostileH7489 toward the husbandH376 27she cherishesH2436 and toward her sonH1121 and daughterH1323, 57and toward her afterbirthH7988 which issuesH3318 from betweenH996 her 28legsH7272 and toward her childrenH1121 whomH834 she bearsH3205; for 29she will eatH398 them secretlyH5643 for lackH2640 of anythingH3605 else, during the siegeH4692 and the distressH4689 by whichH834 your enemyH340 will 30oppressH6693 you in your 31townsH8179.

58“IfH518 you are not carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451 which are writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612, to 3233fearH3372 thisH2088 honoredH3513 and awesomeH3372 34nameH8034, 35the LordH3068 your GodH430, 59then the LordH3068 will bringH6381 extraordinaryH6381 plaguesH4347 on you and 36your descendantsH2233, even 37severeH1419 and lastingH539 plaguesH4347, and miserableH7451 and chronicH539 sicknessesH2483. 6038He will bringH7725 backH7725 on you allH3605 the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714 of whichH834 you were afraidH3025, and they will clingH1692 to you. 61AlsoH1571 everyH3605 sicknessH2483 and everyH3605 plagueH4347 whichH834, not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of thisH2088 lawH8451, the LordH3068 will bringH5927 on you 39untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045. 62Then you shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, 40whereasH8478H834 you were as numerousH7230 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, becauseH3588 you did not 41obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430. 63It shall comeH1961 about that as the LordH3068 42delightedH7797 overH5921 you to prosperH3190 you, and multiplyH7235 you, soH3651 the LordH3068 will 43delightH7797 overH5921 you to make you perishH6 and destroyH8045 you; and you will be 44tornH5255 from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it. 64Moreover, the LordH3068 will 45scatterH6327 you among allH3605 peoplesH5971, from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the other endH7097 of the earthH776; and thereH8033 you shall 46serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68, whichH834 you or your fathersH1 have not knownH3045. 6547Among thoseH1992 nationsH1471 you shall findH7280 noH3808 restH7280, and there will be noH3808 restingH4496 placeH4494 for the soleH3709 of your footH7272; but thereH8033 48the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and despairH1671 of soulH5315. 66So your lifeH2425 shall 49hangH8511 in doubt before you; and you will be in dreadH6342 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and shall haveH539 noH3808 assuranceH539 of your lifeH2425. 6750In the morningH1242 you shall sayH559, ‘WouldH4310H5414 that it were eveningH6153!’ And at eveningH6153 you shall sayH559, ‘WouldH4310H5414 that it were morningH1242!’ becauseH4480 of the dreadH6343 of your heartH3824 whichH834 you dreadH6342, and for the sightH4758 of your eyesH5869 whichH834 you will seeH7200. 68The LordH3068 will bringH7725 you backH7725 to EgyptH4714 in shipsH591, by the wayH1870 about whichH834 I spokeH559 to you, ‘You will neverH3808 seeH7200 it againH3254!’ And thereH8033 you will offerH4376 yourselves for saleH4376 to your enemiesH340 as maleH5650 and femaleH8198 slavesH8198H5650, but thereH369 will be noH369 buyerH7069.”
