Deuteronomy 28:38-48

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.

47Because you didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, even though you had an abundance of everything,

48you will serve your enemies that the Lord will send against you, in famine, thirst, nakedness, and a lack of everything. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
