Deuteronomy 28:32-41 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

32. May thy sons and thy daughters be given to another people, thy eyes looking on, and languishing at the sight of them all the day, and may there be no strength in thy hand.

33. May a people which thou knowest not, eat the fruits of thy land, and all thy labours: and mayst thou always suffer oppression, and be crushed at all times.

34. And be astonished at the terror of those things which thy eyes shall see:

35. May the Lord strike thee with a very sore ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and be thou incurable from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.

36. The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king, whom thou shalt have appointed over thee, into a nation which thou and thy fathers know not: and there thou shalt serve strange gods, wood and stone.

37. And thou shalt be lost, as a proverb and a byword to all people, among whom the Lord shall bring thee in.

38. Thou shalt cast much seed into the ground, and gather little: because the locusts shall consume all.

39. Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and dig it, and shalt not drink the wine, nor gather any thing thereof: because it shall be wasted with worms.

40. Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy borders, and shalt not be anointed with the oil: for the olives shall fall off and perish.

41. Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, and shalt not enjoy them: because they shall be led into captivity.
