³⁶ The Lord will send you and the king that you appoint over you far away to a nation that neither you nor your ancestors have known. There you will worship other gods made of wood and stone. ³⁷ You will become a horror, fit only for use in proverbs and in insults by all the nations where the Lord drives you. ³⁸ You might scatter a lot of seed on the field, but you will gather almost nothing because the locusts will eat it all.
