Deuteronomy 28:63

The Curses of Disobedience

62You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.63Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and multiply, so also it will please Him to annihilate you and destroy you. And you will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
