The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

Verse 49 is found in chapter 28 of Deuteronomy. The root of the judgment is identified as failure to serve the Lord with joy and gratitude amid abundance. Prosperity that should produce gratitude is replaced by self-sufficiency. The hunger, siege, and loss of food described afterward constitute a dramatic reversal of the agricultural blessings previously promised.

Der HERR wird ein Volk über dich schicken von ferne, von der Welt Ende, wie ein Adler fliegt, des Sprache du nicht verstehst,
Jehová traerá sobre ti gente de lejos, del cabo de la tierra, que vuele como águila, gente cuya lengua no entiendas;
Jehová traerá contra ti una nación de lejos, del extremo de la tierra, que se lanzará como el águila, una nación cuya lengua no entiendas,
L'Eternel fera partir de loin, des extrémités de la terre, une nation qui fondra sur toi d'un vol d'aigle, une nation dont tu n'entendras point la langue,
Il Signore farà muovere una gente contro a te di lontano, dall’estremità della terra, a guisa che vola l’aquila; una gente, della quale tu non intenderai il linguaggio;
O SENHOR levantará contra ti uma nação de longe, da extremidade da terra, que voa como a águia, nação cuja língua não entenderás;
耶和華要從遠方、地極之處帶一國來,如鷹飛來攻擊你;這國的語言,你聽不懂。
