Deuteronomy 28:37-44

1. 37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

2. 38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.

3. 39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

4. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

5. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

6. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.

7. 43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

8. 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
