36
The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37
And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
38
Thou shalt carry much seed into the field, and shalt gather [but] little: for the locust shall consume it.
39
Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress [them], but shalt neither drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]: for the worm shall eat them.
40
Thou shalt have olive-trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil: for thy olive shall cast [its fruit].
41
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them: for they shall go into captivity.
42
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43
The stranger that [is] within thee shall rise above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44
He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45
Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou art destroyed: because thou hearkenedst not to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
