63 And as the Lord was glad before upon you, and did well to you, and multiplied you; so he shall be glad to lose you, and to destroy you, that ye be taken away from the land, to which thou shalt enter to wield.

(The Lord shall scatter thee among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth unto the coasts of the sea; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou knowest not, and thy fathers knew not, yea, gods made out of wood and stone.)

For the Lord shall give thee there a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a soul wasted with secret sorrows.)

There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes(J) weary with longing, and a despairing heart.(K)
