34and thou hast been mad, because of the sight of thine eyes which thou dost see.
35`Jehovah doth smite thee with an evil ulcer, on the knees, and on the legs (of which thou art not able to be healed), from the sole of thy foot even unto thy crown.
36`Jehovah doth cause thee to go, and thy king whom thou raisest up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers, and thou hast served there other gods, wood and stone;
37and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead thee.
38`Much seed thou dost take out into the field, and little thou dost gather in, for the locust doth consume it;
39vineyards thou dost plant, and hast laboured, and wine thou dost not drink nor gather, for the worm doth consume it;
