Deuteronomy 28:49-50 -

The description here given of the enemy to whom Israel was to be subjected, applies more or less closely to all the nations whom God raised up from time to time, to invade Israel and chastise the people for their rebellion—the Chaldeans (cf. Jeremiah 48:40 ; Jeremiah 49:22 ; Ezekiel 17:5-7 ; Habakkuk 1:6 , etc.), the Assyrians (cf. Isaiah 5:26 ; Isaiah 38:11 ; Isaiah 23:1-18 :19), the Medes ( Isaiah 13:17 , Isaiah 13:18 ); but there are features in the description which apply especially to the Romans; and the horrors delineated in the latter part of the section (verses 52-57) carry one's thoughts immediately to the terrible scenes which transpired during the wars of Vespasian and Titus with the Jews as narrated by Josephus ('De Bell. Jud.,' 6.; see Milman, ' Hist. of the Jews,' bk. 16.).
