Leviticus 26:33
26:33 I will scatter you among the nations and unsheathe the sword
after you, so your land will become desolate and your cities will become a waste.
Deuteronomy 28:64-68
28:64 The
Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of wood and stone.
28:65 Among those nations you will have no rest nor will there be a place of peaceful rest for the soles of your feet, for there the
Lord will give you an anxious heart, failing eyesight, and a spirit of despair.
28:66 Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will be terrified by night and day and will have no certainty of surviving from one day to the next.
28:67 In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ And in the evening you will say, ‘I wish it were morning!’ because of the things you will fear and the things you will see.
28:68 Then the
Lord will make you return to Egypt by ship, over a route I said to you that you would never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.”
Deuteronomy 32:26-27
The Weakness of Other Gods
32:26 “I said, ‘I want to cut them in pieces.
I want to make people forget they ever existed.
32:27 But I fear the reaction of their enemies,
for their adversaries would misunderstand
and say, “Our power is great,
and the Lord has not done all this!”’
Psalms 106:27
106:27 make their descendants die among the nations,
and scatter them among foreign lands.
Jeremiah 15:4
15:4 I will make all the people in all the kingdoms of the world horrified at what has happened to them because of what Hezekiah’s son Manasseh, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.”
