05:028:033 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation
which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and
crushed alway:
05:028:034 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which
thou shalt see.
05:028:035 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs,
with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto
the top of thy head.
05:028:036 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set
over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known;
and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
05:028:037 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a
byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
05:028:038 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt
gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
05:028:039 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt
neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall
eat them.
05:028:040 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but
thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast
his fruit.
05:028:041 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not
enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
05:028:042 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust
consume.
05:028:043 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee
very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
05:028:044 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he
shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
05:028:045 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall
pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou
hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
05:028:046 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and
upon thy seed for ever.
05:028:047 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness,
and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
05:028:048 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD
shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness,
and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy
neck, until he have destroyed thee.
05:028:049 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from
the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose
tongue thou shalt not understand;
05:028:050 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the
person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
05:028:051 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of
thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee
either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of
thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
