38“You will bring out a great amount of seed to the field, but you will gather in little, because the locust will devour it. 39You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but you will neither drink of the wine nor bring in the harvest, because the worm will eat it. 40You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, because your olives will drop off prematurely. 41You will father sons and daughters but they will not remain yours, because they will go into captivity. 42The cricket will take possession of all your trees and the produce of your ground. 43The stranger who is among you will rise above you higher and higher, and you will go down lower and lower. 44He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45“So all these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you would not obey the Lord your God by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46And they will become a sign and a wonder against you and your descendants forever.
47“Since you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, in gratitude for the abundance of all things, 48you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and devoid of all things; and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
