DEUTERONOMY 28:63 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.”
Among those nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but the LORD will give you there a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a spirit of despair — exile offers no rest: perpetual anxiety ('lev ragzaz'), failing sight ('ofelyot enayim'), despair ('da'avon nefesh'). The exile becomes a kind of living death.
