Deuteronomy 28:62-64

New Century Version

⁶² You people may have outnumbered the stars, but only a few of you will be left, because you did not obey the Lord your God. ⁶³ Just as the Lord was once happy with you and gave you good things and made you grow in number, so then the Lord will be happy to ruin and destroy you, and you will be removed from the land you are entering to take as your own.

⁶⁴ Then the Lord will scatter you among the nations—from one end of the earth to the other. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone, gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known.
