Context of Deuteronomy 28:36

34You will also be driven insane by the sight of what you see. 35The 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. The 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 wood and stone. 37And you 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“You will bring out a great amount of seed to the field, but you will gather in little, because the locust will devour it.
