35. May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
36. May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.
37. And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.
38. You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.
39. You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.
40. You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.
41. You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.
42. Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.
43. The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.
44. He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.
45. And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
46. And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.
47. Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.
48. You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.
