36
Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone.
37
You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away.
38
You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39
You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worm shall eat them.
40
You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive shall cast [its fruit].
41
You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.
42
All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.
43
The sojourner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.
44
He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
45
All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:
46
and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever.
