Deuteronomy:28:32-
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people ,
and thine eyes shall look ,
and fail with longing for them all the day long :
and there shall be no might in thine hand .
*
The fruit of thy land ,
and all thy labours ,
shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up ;
and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway :
*
So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see .
*
The LORD shall smite thee in the knees ,
and in the legs ,
with a sore botch that cannot be healed ,
from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head .
*
The LORD shall bring thee ,
and thy king which thou shalt set over thee ,
unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known ;
and there shalt thou serve other gods ,
wood and stone .
*
And thou shalt become an astonishment ,
a proverb ,
and a byword ,
among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee .
*
Thou shalt carry #
much seed out into the field ,
and shalt gatherbut little in ;
for the locust shall consume it .
*
Thou shalt plant vineyards ,
and dress them ,
but shalt neither drink of the wine ,
nor gather the grapes ;
for the worms shall eat them .
*
Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts ,
but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil ;
for thine olive shall cast his fruit .
*
Thou shalt beget sons and daughters ,
but thou shalt not enjoy them ;
for they shall go into captivity .
*
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume .
*
The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high ma #
al #;
and thou shalt come down very low .
*
He shall lend to thee ,
and thou shalt not lend to him :
he shall be the head ro #
sh #,
and thou shalt be the tail .
*
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee ,
and shall pursue thee ,
and overtake thee ,
till thou be destroyed ;
because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God ,
to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee :
*
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder ,
and upon thy seed for ever .
*
Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness ,
and with gladness of heart ,
for the abundance of all things ;
*
Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee ,
in hunger ra #
ab #,
and in thirst ,
and in nakedness ,
and in want of all things :
and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck tsavva #
r #,
until he have destroyed thee .
*
The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far ,
from the end of the earth ,
as swift as the eagle flieth ;
a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand ;
*
A nation of fierce countenance ,
which shall not regard the person of the old ,
nor shew favour to the young na #
ar #:
*
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle ,
and the fruit of thy land ,
until thou be destroyed :
which also shall not leave thee either corn ,
wine ,
or oil ,
or the increase of thy kine ,
or flocks of thy sheep tso #
n #,
until he have destroyed thee .
*
And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates sha #
ar #,
until thy high and fenced walls come down ,
wherein thou trustedst ,
throughout all thy land :
and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land ,
which the LORD thy God hath given thee .
*
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body ,
the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters ,
which the LORD thy God hath given thee ,
in the siege ,
and in the straitness ,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee :
*
So that the man that is tender among you ,
and very delicate ,
his eye shall be evil toward his brother ,
and toward the wife of his bosom ,
and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave :
*
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat :
because he hath nothing left him in the siege ,
and in the straitness ,
wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates sha #
ar #.
*
The tender and delicate woman among you ,
which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness ,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom ,
and toward her son ,
and toward her daughter ,
*
And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet ,
and toward her children which she shall bear :
for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness ,
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates sha #
ar #.
*
If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book ,
that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name ,
THE LORD THY GOD ;
*
Then the LORD will make #
thy plagues wonderful ,
and the plagues of thy seed ,
even great plagues ,
and of long continuance ,
and sore sicknesses ,
and of long continuance .
*
Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt ,
which thou wast afraid of ;
and they shall cleave unto thee .
*
Also every sickness ,
and every plague ,
which is not written in the book of this law ,
them will the LORD bring upon thee ,
until thou be destroyed .
*
And ye shall be left few in number ,
whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude ;
because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good ,
and to multiply you ;
so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you ,
and to bring you to nought ;
and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it .
*
And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people ,
from the one end of the earth even unto the other ;
and there thou shalt serve other gods ,
which neither thou nor thy fathers have known ,
even wood and stone .
*
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease ,
neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest :
but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart ,
and failing of eyes ,
and sorrow of mind :
*
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee ;
and thou shalt fear day and night ,
and shalt have none assurance of thy life :
*
In the morning thou shalt say ,
Would God it were even !
and at even thou shalt say ,
Would God it were morning !
for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear ,
and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see .
*
And the LORD shall bring #
thee into Egypt again with ships ,
by the way whereof I spake unto thee ,
Thou shalt see it no more again :
and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen ,
and no man shall buy you .
