Deuteronomy 28:38-48

38Thou shalt carry much seed into the field, and shalt gather but little; for the locust shall consume it. 39Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes ; for the worms shall eat them. 40Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy land, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thy olive shall cast its fruit . 41Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.1 42All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.2 43The stranger that is within thee shall rise above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

45Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed; because thou didst hearken not to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47Because thou didst not serve the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ; 48Therefore shalt thou serve thy enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things : and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee.
