Crickets will swarm all over your trees and the crops in your fields. 43The ⌞standard of living for the⌟ foreigners who live among you will rise higher and higher, while your ⌞standard of living⌟ will sink lower and lower. 44They will be able to make loans to you, but you won’t be able to make loans to them. They will be the head, and you will be the tail.
