Deuteronomy 28:35

Verse 35 of 68. The 28th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

31Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.

32Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.

33A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,

34so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.

35The LORD will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

36The LORD will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone.

37You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away.

38You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.

39You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them.
