Leviticus

Leviticus 26:36–38

³⁶As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them. ³⁷They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.

³⁸You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
