Deuteronomy 28:35

33 A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed.

34 You will be driven mad by the sights you see.

The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36 The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.

37 You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
