36 The Lord will carry thee and thy king which thou shalt have set over thee, to a people which thou hast not known, neither thou nor thy fathers: and there shalt thou serve other gods, of wood and of stone. 37 And there shalt thou be a gazing stock, a scoffing stock, and a byword to all people, to whom the Lord shall bring thee. 38 Thou shalt lay much seed in the ground, and shalt gather little: for the grasshoppers shall devour it. 39 Thou shalt plant a vineyard and dress it: but thou shalt not drink the wine of it, nor gather any fruit of it: for the worms shall eat it. 40 Thou shalt have Olive trees in all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil of it: for all thine Olives shall be shaken off. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but not to thy self: for they shall go into Captivity. 42 The worm shall destroy all thy trees, and the fruit of thy land. 43 The stranger which dwelleth with thee, shall rise above thee very high: and thou shalt stoop under him very low. 44 He shall lend unto thee, and not thou unto him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45 And all these curses shall come upon thee and follow thee and take hold of thee, until thou be utterly rooted out, because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord thy God, by keeping his commandments and ordinances which he hath commanded thee.
