39. You will plant vineyards and dress them, but will neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for worms will eat them.
40. You will have olive trees throughout all your coasts, but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olive will drop off.
41. You will give birth to sons and daughters, but you will not enjoy them, for they will go into captivity.
42. The locust will consume all of your trees and fruit of your land.
43. The foreigner who resides with you will get up higher and higher, and you will go down lower and lower.
44. He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45. Moreover, all of these curses will come on you and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, by keeping His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you.
46. They will be a perpetual sign and wonder in regard to you and your descendants,
47. because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.
48. Therefore, you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and need of all things, and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49. The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,
50. a nation with a fierce countenance, which will not respect the old or show favor to the young.
51. They will eat the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, wine, or oil, or the offspring of your herd or the offspring of your sheep, until they have destroyed you.
52. He will lay siege on you in all your towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land, and he will lay siege on you in all your towns throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you.
