Deuteronomy 4:25-27
English Standard Version
25 “When you father children and children's children, and have grown old in the land, (A)if you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and (B)by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, 26 I (C)call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (D)will scatter you among the peoples, (E)and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you.

Leviticus 26:33-46
English Standard Version
33 And (A)I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
34 (B)“Then the land shall enjoy[a] its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it. 36 And as for those of you who are left, (C)I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The (D)sound of a (E)driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And (F)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall (G)rot away in your enemies' lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.
40 “But if (H)they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they (I)committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their (J)uncircumcised heart is (K)humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will (L)remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will (M)remember the land. 43 But (N)the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, (O)I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and (P)break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, (Q)whom I brought out of the land of Egypt (R)in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”
46 (S)These are the statutes and rules and laws that the Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses (T)on Mount Sinai.

Deuteronomy 32:26-28
English Standard Version
26 (A)I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
(B)I will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, (C)“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is (D)no understanding in them.
