²⁶ I will hurl^(A) you and the mother^(B) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die.

²⁶ I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses^(A) against you^(B) this day that you will quickly perish^(C) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. ²⁷ The Lord will scatter^(D) you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive^(E) among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. ²⁸ There you will worship man-made gods^(F) of wood and stone,^(G) which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.^(H)

⁶⁴ Then the Lord will scatter^(A) you among all nations,^(B) from one end of the earth to the other.^(C) There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.^{(D) 65} Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place^(E) for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes^(F) weary with longing, and a despairing heart.^(G)
