Deuteronomy 28:45-48

Ver. 45-48. Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee— "These instances of divine vengeance will fall upon you, one after another; ever keeping pace with, and bearing proportion to, your obstinacy and disobedience; till at last, the miseries you undergo, in your own and in foreign countries, will render your nation the most lasting and dreadful example of divine vengeance and just indignation upon a people, uneasy under the gentle yoke, the laws and protection of God himself; ungrateful amidst the most plentiful blessings of his providence; and therefore justly condemned to bear a yoke of iron; (ver. 48.) i.e. to endure the most cruel thraldom, and rigorous oppression." See Jeremiah 27:11. 2 Chronicles 12:8.
