Deuteronomy 28:37-39

Contemporary English Version

³⁷ People of nearby countries will shudder when they see your terrible troubles, but they will still make fun of you.

³⁸ You will plant a lot of seed, but gather a small harvest, because locusts^[a] will eat your crops. ³⁹ You will plant vineyards and work hard at taking care of them, but you won't gather any grapes, much less get any wine, because the vines themselves will be eaten by worms.
