Bible verse
You 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.
Deuteronomy 28:62 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 28.
58 If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—
59 He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.
60 He will afflict you again with all the diseases you dreaded in Egypt, and they will cling to you.
61 The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
62 You 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.
63 Just 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.
64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
65 Among those nations you will find no repose, not even a resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despairing soul.
66 So your life will hang in doubt before you, and you will be afraid night and day, never certain of survival.
