Deuteronomy 28:62-64

New Catholic Bible

⁶² You who were once as numerous as the stars in the heavens shall only be left with a few survivors, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord, your God.

⁶³ Punishment and Exile. Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and to multiply your numbers, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You shall be uprooted from the land that you are entering to possess. ⁶⁴ The Lord will scatter you among every people, from one end of the earth to the other. There you shall worship other gods whom neither you nor your fathers knew, gods made of wood and stone.
