39You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.
40Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.
41You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.
42All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.
43The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go down lower and lower.
44He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.
45And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:
