Context of Deuteronomy 28:46
44He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed; because thou didst hearken not to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ; 48Therefore shalt thou serve thy enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things : and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee.
