47. “The Lord your God gave you many blessings. But you did not serve him with joy and a glad heart.
48. So you will serve the enemies the Lord will send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, naked, and poor. He will put a load on you that cannot be removed. You will carry that load until he destroys you.
49. “The Lord will bring a nation from far away to fight you. You will not understand their language. They will come quickly, like an eagle coming down from the sky.
50. These people will be cruel. They will not care about old people or show mercy to young children.
