Deuteronomy 28:37

The Curses of Disobedience

36The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.37You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
