 16Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
 17Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
 18Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

 32Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
 33The fruit of thy land, and all thy labors, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
 34So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
 35The 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.
 36The 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.
 37And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.
 38Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
 39Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
 40Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
 41Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. (Deut. 28:15‑18,30‑41)
