Deuteronomy 28:38-48

38“1You will bringH3318 outH3318 a greatH7227 amountH7227 of seedH2233 to the fieldH7704, but you will gatherH622 inH622 littleH4592, becauseH3588 2the locustH697 will devourH2628 it. 393You will plantH5193 and cultivateH5647 vineyardsH3754, but you will neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 norH3808 bringH103 inH103 the harvest, becauseH3588 the wormH8439 will eatH398 it. 404You will haveH1961 oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 your territoryH1366 but you will not anointH5480 yourself with the oilH8081, becauseH3588 your olivesH2132 will dropH5394 offH5394 prematurely. 415You will fatherH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 but they will not remainH1961 yours, becauseH3588 they will goH1980 into captivityH7628. 426The cricketH6767 will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of allH3605 your treesH6086 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127. 437The strangerH1616 whoH834 is amongH7130 you will riseH5927 aboveH5921 you higherH4605 and higherH4605, and you will goH3381 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295. 448He will lendH3867 to you, but you will not lendH3867 to him; 9he will be the headH7218, and you will be the tailH2180.

45“So allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon you and pursueH7291 you and overtakeH5381 you 10untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045, becauseH3588 you would not 11obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430 by keepingH8104 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 He commandedH6680 you. 46And they will becomeH1961 12a signH226 and a wonderH4159 13against you and your 14descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.

47“15SinceH8478H834 you did not serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430 with joyH8057 and a cheerfulH2898 heartH3824, in gratitude for the abundanceH7230 of allH3605 things, 48you will serveH5647 your enemiesH340 whomH834 the LordH3068 will sendH7971 against you, 16in hungerH7458, thirstH6772, nakednessH5903, and devoidH2640 of allH3605 things; and He 17will putH5414 an ironH1270 yokeH5923 on your neckH6677 untilH5704 He has destroyedH8045 you.
