Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot

Deuteronomy 28:58-68

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.

You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God.

Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart.

The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

Israel's whole peace and well-being, their life, rest on a right relationship with God; to be cur off from this is death - as Moses is about to spell out in his final address.

Why?

It is a warning that if Israel does not carefully follow all the words of this law, there are fearful plagues, diseases will come upon them and their descendants. 

Next, they will be scattered among all nations without peace and rest, and their number will from numerous become few in number.

律法的目的叫人敬畏神！

提到埃及人所遇到的疾病，再回到埃及，因為當時還有一些人從埃及出來的還活著！回到埃及就是再次成為奴僕，甚至於沒有人要他們！

人數下降：代表神的祝福漸漸離開。

他們以為土地是他們努力得來的，耕種是他們辛苦所得！神使他們失去土地！

人為主捨命，必得著生命，放開雙手，讓主來抓住我！神藉摩西、提醒我們只有在神裏才有平安，喜樂，人怎麼抓都會沈下去。讓我們放手！

How?

Unfortunately, It has happened in Israelite history, so when Israelites returned back they were known that fear the Lord is their living rule.
