Deuteronomy 28:38-48

38“You will take much seed to the field but gather little harvest, because locusts will consume it.

39You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will not drink wine or gather in grapes, because worms will eat them.

40You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with olive oil, because the olives will drop off the trees while still unripe.

41You will bear sons and daughters but not keep them, because they will be taken into captivity.

42Whirring locusts will take over every tree and all the produce of your soil.

43The foreigners who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

44They will lend to you but you will not lend to them; they will become the head and you will become the tail!

45All these curses will fall on you, pursuing and overtaking you until you are destroyed, because you would not obey the Lord your God by keeping his commandments and statutes that he has given you.

46These curses will be a perpetual sign and wonder with reference to you and your descendants.

47“Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have,

48instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you.
