Deuteronomy 28:11

Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Deuteronomy 28 sets before Israel the blessings that will overtake them if they obey the Lord-fruitful fields, flocks, and families, victory, and prominence among the nations-and the curses that will pursue them if they disobey. The curses escalate from disease and famine to a siege so severe that parents will eat their children, ending with Israel being scattered among all peoples and even brought back to Egypt in ships. The chapter stands as a sober warning that obedience brings blessing while persistent disobedience brings ruin.
