And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

Verse 64 is found in chapter 28 of Deuteronomy. The final section of the curses describes disease, dispersion, and a symbolic return to Egypt. Exile represents a reversal of the exodus: the people delivered from Egypt may once again come under foreign domination because of their unfaithfulness. The chapter concludes with an extreme image of national loss, showing the seriousness of deliberately breaking the covenant.

Denn der HERR wird dich zerstreuen unter alle Völker von einem Ende der Welt bis ans andere; und wirst daselbst andern Göttern dienen, die du nicht kennst noch deine Väter: Holz und Steinen.

Jehová te dispersará entre todos los pueblos, de un extremo al otro de la tierra. Allí servirás a otros dioses que ni tú ni tus antepasados han conocido, de madera y de piedra.
L'Eternel te dispersera parmi tous les peuples, d'une extrémité de la terre à l'autre; et là, tu serviras d'autres dieux que n'ont connus ni toi, ni tes pères, du bois et de la pierre.
E il Signore ti dispergerà fra tutti i popoli, da uno estremo della terra all’altro estremo; e quivi servirai ad altri dii, i quali nè tu, nè i tuoi padri, non avete conosciuti; al legno ed alla pietra.
E o SENHOR vos espalhará entre todos os povos, desde uma extremidade da terra até à outra; e ali servireis a outros deuses que não conheceste, nem tu nem teus pais; ao pau e à pedra.
耶和華必把你們分散在萬民中,從地的這邊到地的另一邊,在那裏你必事奉你和你列祖不認識的神明,就是木頭和石頭。
