Deuteronomy 28:35-46

351The Lord will strike you on the knees and thighs with severe boils from which you cannot be healed, and strike you from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. 362The Lord will bring you and your king, whom you appoint over you, to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, made of 3wood and stone. 37And 4you will become an object of horror, a song of mockery, and an object of taunting among all the peoples where the Lord drives you.

38“5You will bring out a great amount of seed to the field, but you will gather in little, because 6the locust will devour it. 397You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but you will neither drink of the wine nor bring in the harvest, because the worm will eat it. 408You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, because your olives will drop off prematurely. 419You will father sons and daughters but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity. 4210The cricket will take possession of all your trees and the produce of your ground. 4311The stranger who is among you will rise above you higher and higher, and you will go down lower and lower. 4412He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; 13he will be the head, and you will be the tail.

45“So all these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you 14until you are destroyed, because you would not 15obey the Lord your God by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46And they will become 16a sign and a wonder 17against you and your 18descendants forever.
