Deuteronomy 28:37 And thou shalt be lost, as a proverb and a bye-word to all people, among whom the Lord shall bring thee in.

Lost. Hebrew, "an object of desolation, a fable and a mockery." Septuagint, "thou shalt be a riddle, a parable, and an example," to employ the thoughts and tongues of all nations, who will not be able to comprehend the greatness of thy distress. (Calmet)
