Deuteronomy 28:47-49

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁷ You didn’t serve the Lord your God with a joyful and happy heart when you had so much. ⁴⁸ So you will serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you. You will serve them even though you are already hungry, thirsty, naked, and in need of everything. The Lord will put a heavy burden of hard work on you until he destroys you.

⁴⁹ The Lord will bring against you a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth. The nation will swoop down on you like an eagle. It will be a nation whose language you won’t understand.
