Deuteronomy 28:43-49

  2. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

  3. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

  4. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

  5. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

  6. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

  7. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
