Context of Deuteronomy 28:46
44He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will become the head and you will become the tail. 45“All these curses will come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed—because you did not listen to the voice of Adonai your God, to keep His mitzvot and statutes that He commanded you. They will be a sign and a wonder on you and your descendants forever. 47Instead of serving Adonai your God with joy and goodness of heart, out of the abundance of everything, 48you will serve your enemies, whom Adonai will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and lacking everything; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
