Deuteronomy 28:42
Verse 42 of 68. The 28th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.
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.
40You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.
41You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.
42Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.
43The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.
44He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to the LORD your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.
46They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever.
