43 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower.
44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
45 “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you1 did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.
46 And they shall be upon ayou for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
47 a“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, bfor the abundance of everything,
48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in ahunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He bwill put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
