Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 28:62–64

⁶²You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.

⁶³Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so also it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. And you will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.

⁶⁴Then the LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
