Deuteronomy 28:38-48

38“You shall carry much seed out to the field but gather little in, for the locust shall consume it.

39You shall plant vineyards and tend them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

40You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.

41You shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.

42Locusts shall consume all your trees and the produce of your land.

43“The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower.

44He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

45“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.

46And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

47“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything,

48therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
