45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee and shall pursue thee and overtake thee until thou art destroyed because thou shalt not have attended unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee;
46 and they shall be in thee for a sign and for a wonder, and in thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 therefore, thou shalt serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger and in thirst and in nakedness and in lack of all things; and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck until he has destroyed thee.
49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand,
50 a nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old nor show favour to the young;
51 and he shall eat the fruit of thy beast and the fruit of thy land until thou art destroyed, which also shall not leave thee either grain, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy cows or flocks of thy sheep until he has destroyed thee.
