Ver. 45-48. Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee— "These instances of divine vengeance will fall upon you, one after another; ever keeping pace with, and bearing proportion to, your obstinacy and disobedience; till at last, the miseries you undergo, in your own and in foreign countries, will render your nation the most lasting and dreadful example of divine vengeance and just indignation upon a people, uneasy under the gentle yoke, the laws and protection of God himself; ungrateful amidst the most plentiful blessings of his providence; and therefore justly condemned to bear a yoke of iron; (ver. 48.) i.e. to endure the most cruel thraldom, and rigorous oppression." See Jeremiah 27:11-12. 2 Chronicles 12:8.

Deuteronomy 28:45-48
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
