Deuteronomy 28:61-68 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

61. The Lord will even bring troubles and diseases that are not written in this Book of Teachings. He will continue to do this until you are destroyed.

62. You might have as many people as the stars in the sky. But only a few of you will be left, because you did not listen to the Lord your God.

63. “The Lord was happy to be good to you and to make your nation grow. In the same way the Lord will be happy to ruin and destroy you. You are going to take that land to be yours. But people will take you out of that land!

64. The Lord will scatter you among all the people in the world. He will scatter you from one end of the earth to the other. There you will serve false gods made of wood and stone. They are false gods that you or your ancestors never worshiped.

65. “You will not have any peace among these nations. You will have no place to rest. The Lord will fill your mind with worry. Your eyes will feel tired. You will be very upset.

66. You will live with danger and always be afraid. You will be afraid night and day. You will never feel sure about your life.

67. In the morning you will say, ‘I wish it were evening!’ In the evening you will say, ‘I wish it were morning!’ This will happen because of the fear in your heart and the terrible things you will see.

68. The Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships. I said you would never have to go to that place again, but he will send you there. In Egypt you will try to sell yourselves as slaves to your enemies, but no one will buy you.”
