Devarim 28:37-46 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

37. And thou shalt become an object of horror, a mashal, and a byword, among kol haGoyim whither Hashem shall lead thee.

38. Thou shalt carry much zera out into the sadeh, and shalt gather but little in; for the arbeh shall devour it.

39. Thou shalt plant kramim, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the yayin, nor gather the grapes; for the tola'at (worm) shall eat them.

40. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy territory, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the shemen; for thine olives shall drop off.

41. Thou shalt father banim and banot, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into shevi (captivity, the golus).

42. All thy trees and pri of thy adamah shall the locust consume.

43. The ger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

44. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the rosh, and thou shalt be the zanav.

45. Moreover all these kelalot shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be shmad; because thou gavest not heed unto the voice of Hashem Eloheicha to be shomer over His mitzvot and His chukkot which He commanded thee;

46. And they shall be upon thee for an ot and for a mofet, and upon thy zera ad olam.
