⁴³ The foreigners who live in your country will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink lower and lower in every aspect of life. ⁴⁴ They will lend to you, but you won’t lend to them; they’ll be the head, and you’ll be the tail. ⁴⁵ You’ll experience all of these curses—they’ll chase after you and overtake you and destroy you—because you did not listen to the voice of the Eternal and obey the commands and regulations He gave you.
