Deuteronomy 28:46-48
New English Translation

46 These curses[a] will be a perpetual sign and wonder with reference to you and your descendants.[b]

The Curse of Military Siege

47 “Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have, 48 instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty[c] you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They[d] will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you.
