Summary

This verse in Deuteronomy is part of the blessings and curses that Moses proclaimed to the Israelites. It speaks of the Lord scattering the Israelites among all nations from one end of the earth to the other as a consequence of their disobedience. The scattering would result in distress, fear, and despair for the people, as they would find no resting place. This verse serves as a solemn warning about the consequences of turning away from God's commands and the importance of obedience in maintaining a close relationship with Him.
