Deuteronomy 28:62-64
Contemporary English Version
62 There are as many of you now as the stars in the sky, but if you disobey the Lord your God, only a few of you will be left. 63 The Lord is happy to make you successful and to help your nation grow while you conquer the land. But if you disobey him, he will be just as happy to pull you up by your roots.
64 Those of you that survive will be scattered to every nation on earth, and you will have to worship stone and wood idols[a] that never helped you or your ancestors.

Deuteronomy 28:62-64
New International Version
62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky(A) will be left but few(B) in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased(C) the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please(D) him to ruin and destroy you.(E) You will be uprooted(F) from the land you are entering to possess.
64 Then the Lord will scatter(G) you among all nations,(H) from one end of the earth to the other.(I) There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.(J)
