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. You will live in constant
suspense, filled with dread
both night and day, never sure of your life. In the morning
you will say, ÒIf only it were evening!Ó and in the evening, ÒIf only it were morning!Ó
– because of the terror that
will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. (Deuteronomy 28:65-67)
