38“1You shall bringH3318 out muchH7227 seedH2233 to the fieldH7704 but you will gatherH622 in littleH4592, for 2the locustH697 will consumeH2628 it. 393You shall plantH5193 and cultivateH5647 vineyardsH3754, but you will neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 norH3808 gatherH103 the grapes, for the wormH8439 will devourH398 them. 404You shall haveH1961 oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 your territoryH1366 but you will not anointH5480 yourself with the oilH8081, for your olivesH2132 will dropH5394 offH5394. 415You shall 6haveH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 but they will not be yours, for they will goH1980 into captivityH7628. 427The cricketH6767 shall possessH3423 allH3605 your treesH6086 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127. 438The alienH1616 whoH834 is amongH7130 you shall riseH5927 aboveH5921 you higherH4605 and higherH4605, but you will goH3381 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295. 449He shall lendH3867 to you, but you will not lendH3867 to him; 10he shall be the headH7218, and you will be the tailH2180.

45“So allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 shall comeH935 on you and pursueH7291 you and overtakeH5381 you 11untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045, becauseH3588 you would not 12obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430 by keepingH8104 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 He commandedH6680 you. 46They shall becomeH1961 13a signH226 and a wonderH4159 on you and your 14descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.
