Nobody is stepping up, so here goes another from JayMatt19:
I saw this a number of years back in a sefer, might have been the Mayana shel Torah, but I am not certain.

Why is this a curse? What does it mean that we will be chased and we will notice that we are not being chased by anyone?
When someone is undergoing tzaros, one should train themselves to view it as a kapara. Suffering serves a purpose. The curse here, that we will need to flee without anyone running after us. Normally, when we see people chasing us we can say, “The fact that people are chasing us is a kapara!”
However, the klalla here is that we will have the optimum suffering with the minimum kapara! (i.e. needing to run as if being chased without actually being chased)
That is a true klalla from the tochacha!
