*
Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people ,
while your eyes look on and fail with longing for them all the day ;
and it shall not be in the power of your hand to prevent it .
*
A nation which you have not known shall eat up the fruit of your ground and of all your labors ;
and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually ;
*
so that you shall be driven mad by the sight which your eyes shall see .
*
The LORD will smite you on the knees and on the legs with grievous boils of which you cannot be healed ,
from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head .
* "
The LORD will bring you ,
and your king whom you set over you ,
to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known ;
and there you shall serve other gods ,
of wood and stone .
*
And you shall become a horror ,
a proverb ,
and a byword ,
among all the peoples where the LORD will lead you away .
*
You shall carry much seed into the field ,
and shall gather little in ;
for the locust shall consume it .
*
You shall plant vineyards and dress them ,
but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes ;
for the worm shall eat them .
*
You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory ,
but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil ;
for your olives shall drop off .
*
You shall beget sons and daughters ,
but they shall not be yours ;
for they shall go into captivity .
