Deuteronomy 28:47-50 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

47. Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.

48. You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.

49. The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:

50. a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
