0 Deuteronomy : Politics

I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 5:9

  3. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 28:43
    (See here for an example of how this verse is used to justify the mistreatment of immigrants by bible-believers.)
