Deuteronomy 7:7; Deuteronomy 28:47; Deuteronomy 28:62

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
