Deuteronomy 28:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸ Fruitless Labor. You shall sow much seed in your fields, but you shall harvest little, for the locusts shall devour it. ³⁹ You shall plant and care for vineyards, but you shall not drink its wine or gather its grapes, for the worms will eat it. ⁴⁰ You shall have olive trees throughout your land, but you shall not have olive oil, for the olives will drop off.
