Deuteronomy 28:63-65
Amplified Bible
63 It shall come about that just as the Lord delighted over you to make you prosper and multiply, so the Lord will delight over you to bring you to ruin and destruction; and you will be [a]uprooted [violently] from the land which you are entering to possess. 64 And the Lord will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and there you will [be forced to] serve other gods, [lifeless gods of] wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.(A) 65 Among those nations you will find no peace (rest), and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.

- Deuteronomy 28:63 There have been many “uprootings” from the land, notably those by Nebuchadnezzar (605, 587, 586 b.c.), Titus (a.d. 70), and later by the Emperor Hadrian (a.d. 135) who issued a proclamation forbidding Jews to live in Judea, or even to approach its border. In his attempt to eradicate Judaism, among other things, Hadrian renamed the Roman province of Syria Palaestina (after the Philistines).
Deuteronomy 28:63-65
New International Version
63 Just as it pleased(A) the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please(B) him to ruin and destroy you.(C) You will be uprooted(D) from the land you are entering to possess.
64 Then the Lord will scatter(E) you among all nations,(F) from one end of the earth to the other.(G) There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.(H) 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place(I) for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes(J) weary with longing, and a despairing heart.(K)
