Deuteronomy 28:35-46

35The Lord will afflict you with painful and incurable boils on your knees and thighs — from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

36“The Lord will bring you and your king that you have appointed to a nation neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone.

37You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.

38“You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because locusts will devour it.

39You will plant and cultivate vineyards but not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.

40You will have olive trees throughout your territory but not moisten your skin with oil, because your olives will drop off.

41You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will be taken prisoner.

42Buzzing insects will take possession of all your trees and your land’s produce.

43The resident alien among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink lower and lower.

44He will lend to you, but you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.

45“All these curses will come, pursue, and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commands and statutes he gave you.

46These curses will be a sign and a wonder against you and your descendants forever.
