Deuteronomy 28:38-48

38“Much seed you will take out to the field—but little will you bring in, for the locust will eat it up.

39Vineyards you will plant and tend—but wine you will not drink or bring in, for the worm will devour it.

40Olive trees you will have in all your territory—but oil you will not rub on yourself, for your olives will drop off.

41Sons and daughters you will father—but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.

42All your trees and the produce of your soil the whirring locust will possess.

43“The outsider who is in your midst will rise up higher and higher above you, and you will go down lower and lower.

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

45“All these curses will come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed—because you did not listen to the voice of Adonai your God, to keep His mitzvot and statutes that He commanded you.

46They will be a sign and a wonder on you and your descendants forever.

47Instead of serving Adonai your God with joy and goodness of heart, out of the abundance of everything,

48you will serve your enemies, whom Adonai will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and lacking everything; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
