Deuteronomy 28:68
The Scripture
(68) And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
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.
