Deuteronomy 28:48 in Context — Deuteronomy 28

46 Elles seront à jamais pour toi et pour tes descendants comme des signes et des prodiges.

47 Pour n’avoir pas, au milieu de l’abondance de toutes choses, servi l’Éternel, ton Dieu, avec joie et de bon cœur,

48 tu serviras, au milieu de la faim, de la soif, de la nudité et de la disette de toutes choses, tes ennemis que l’Éternel enverra contre toi. Il mettra un joug de fer sur ton cou, jusqu’à ce qu’il t’ait détruit.

49 L’Éternel fera partir de loin, des extrémités de la terre, une nation qui fondra sur toi d’un vol d’aigle, une nation dont tu n’entendras point la langue,

50 une nation au visage farouche, et qui n’aura ni respect pour le vieillard ni pitié pour l’enfant.
