Context of Deuteronomy 28:36

34When you see what is happening to you, you will become crazy. 35The Lord will cause you to have boils on your knees and on your legs. They will give you much pain and they will never get better. They will soon cover your whole body, from your toes to the top of your head. When you choose a king for yourselves, the Lord will send you and him away to a foreign country. It will be a place that neither you nor your ancestors have ever heard about. There you will serve gods that people have made from stone and wood. 37The Lord will send you away to live among foreign people. When they see what has happened to you, they will all see that it is terrible. They will tell stories about you and they will laugh at you. 38You will plant many seeds in your fields, but you will not have much food at harvest time. Instead, locusts will eat your crops.
