Deuteronomy 28:38-51
-
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
-
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
-
43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
-
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
-
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
-
46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
-
47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
-
48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
-
49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
-
50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
-
51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
