Deuteronomy 28:62-64

⁶²Because you didn''t listen obediently to the Voice of GOD, your God, you''ll be left with a few pitiful stragglers in place of the dazzling stars-in-the-heavens multitude you had become.

⁶³And this is how things will end up: Just as GOD once enjoyed you, took pleasure in making life good for you, giving you many children, so GOD will enjoy getting rid of you, clearing you off the Earth. He''ll weed you out of the very soil that you are entering in to possess.

⁶⁴He''ll scatter you to the four winds, from one end of the Earth to the other. You''ll worship all kinds of other gods, gods neither you nor your parents ever heard of, wood and stone no-gods.o
