Deuteronomy 28:46-48

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁶ They shall be among you and your descendants as a sign and a portent forever.

⁴⁷ Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and with gladness of heart for the abundance of everything, ⁴⁸ therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and lack of everything. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
