Deuteronomy 28:45-68

45Moreover all these cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon thee, and shall pursueH7291 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, till thou art destroyedH8045; because thou didst hearkenH8085 not to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 which he commandedH6680 thee: 46And they shall be upon thee for a signH226 and for a wonderH4159, and upon thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769. 47Because thou didst not serveH5647 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with joyfulnessH8057, and with gladnessH2898 of heartH3824, for the abundanceH7230 of all things ; 48Therefore shalt thou serveH5647 thy enemiesH341 which the LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 against thee, in hungerH7458, and in thirstH6772, and in nakednessH5903, and in lackH2640 of all things : and he shall putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon thy neckH6677, until he hath destroyedH8045 thee. 49The LORDH3068 shall bringH5375 a nationH1471 against thee from farH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, as swift as the eagleH5404 fliethH1675; a nationH1471 whose languageH3956 thou shalt not understandH8085;1 50A nationH1471 of fierceH5794 countenanceH6440, which shall not regardH5375 the personH6440 of the oldH2205, nor show favourH2603 to the youngH5288:2 51And he shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, until thou art destroyedH8045: which also shall not leaveH7604 thee either grainH1715, wineH8492, or oilH3323, or the increaseH7698 of thy cattleH504, or flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629, until he hath destroyedH6 thee. 52And he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179, until thy highH1364 and fortifiedH1219 wallsH2346 come downH3381, in whichH2004 thou didst trustH982, throughout all thy landH776: and he shall besiegeH6887 thee in all thy gatesH8179 throughout all thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee. 53And thou shalt eatH398 the fruitH6529 of thy own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee, in the siegeH4692, and in the distressH4689, by which thy enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee:3 54So that the manH376 that is tenderH7390 among you, and veryH3966 delicateH6028, his eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward his brotherH251, and toward the wifeH802 of his bosomH2436, and toward the remnantH3499 of his childrenH1121 whom he shall leaveH3498: 55So that he will not giveH5414 to anyH259 of them of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whom he shall eatH398: because he hath nothing leftH7604 him in the siegeH4692, and in the distressH4689, by which thy enemiesH341 shall distressH6693 thee in all thy gatesH8179. 56The tenderH7390 and delicateH6028 woman among you, who would not ventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 upon the groundH776 for delicatenessH6026 and tendernessH7391, her eyeH5869 shall be evilH3415 toward the husbandH376 of her bosomH2436, and toward her sonH1121, and toward her daughterH1323, 57And toward her young oneH7988 her own offspringH3318H7272, and toward her childrenH1121 which she shall bearH3205: for she shall eatH398 them for lackH2640 of all things secretlyH5643 in the siegeH4692 and distressH4689, by which thy enemyH341 shall distressH6693 thee in thy gatesH8179.4 58If thou wilt not observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612, that thou mayest fearH3372 this gloriousH3513 and fearfulH3372 nameH8034, THE LORDH3068 THY GODH430; 59Then the LORDH3068 will makeH6381 thy plaguesH4347 wonderfulH6381, and the plaguesH4347 of thy seedH2233, even greatH1419 plaguesH4347, and of long continuanceH539, and grievousH7451 sicknessesH2483, and of long continuanceH539. 60Moreover he will bringH7725 upon thee all the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, of which thou wast afraidH3025H6440; and they shall cleaveH1692 to thee. 61Also every sicknessH2483, and every plagueH4347, which is not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of this lawH8451, them will the LORDH3068 bringH5927 upon thee, until thou art destroyedH8045.5 62And ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, thoughH834 ye were as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230; because thou wouldest not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. 63And it shall come to pass, that as the LORDH3068 rejoicedH7797 over you to do you goodH3190, and to multiplyH7235 you; so the LORDH3068 will rejoiceH7797 over you to destroyH6 you, and to bring you to noughtH8045; and ye shall be pluckedH5255 from off the landH127 where thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it. 64And the LORDH3068 shall scatterH6327 thee among all peopleH5971, from the one endH7097 of the earthH776 even to the otherH7097; and there thou shalt serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which neither thou nor thy fathersH1 have knownH3045, even woodH6086 and stoneH68. 65And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315: 66And thy lifeH2416 shall hangH8511 in doubt beforeH5048 thee; and thou shalt fearH6342 dayH3119 and nightH3915, and shalt have no assuranceH539 of thy lifeH2416: 67In the morningH1242 thou shalt sayH559, O that it wereH5414 eveningH6153! and at eveningH6153 thou shalt sayH559, O that it wereH5414 morningH1242! for the fearH6343 of thy heartH3824 which thou shalt fearH6342, and for the sightH4758 of thy eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200. 68And the LORDH3068 shall bringH7725 thee into EgyptH4714 againH7725 with shipsH591, by the wayH1870 of which I have saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt seeH7200 it no more againH3254: and there ye shall be soldH4376 to your enemiesH341 for maleH5650 and female slavesH8198, and no man shall buyH7069 you .
