The King James Version Bible

Deuteronomy 28:47-51

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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;

  4. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

  5. And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
