The phrase "thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the nations whither the LORD shall lead thee" is found in the KJV 1611 Bible in Deuteronomy 28:37. This verse is part of a series of curses for disobedience in Deuteronomy 28:37-68, where God warns the Israelites.  Contextual Details: The Passage: "And thou shalt become an astonishment, a prouerbe, and a by-worde, among all nations whither the Lord shall leade thee." (Deuteronomy 28:37 KJV 1611). Meaning: The terms signify that Israel would become an object of horror (astonishment), a byword (by-worde), or a taunt due to their disobedience, reflecting similar warnings in Psalm 44:13-14 and Jeremiah 24:9. Similar phrasing: Deuteronomy 28:28 also mentions "astonishment of heart"
