The fruit of thy body

“Blessed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

“His roots are dried below,
And his branch is cut off above.

Let his children be fatherless
And his wife a widow.

My eyes fail because of tears,
My

spirit is greatly troubled;

heart is poured out on the earth

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,

When little ones and infants faint
In the streets of the city.

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird—
No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!

Behold, I am going to rebuke your offspring, and I will spread refuse on your faces, the refuse of your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’

Thy land

“Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country.

I will also break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.

Though the fig tree should not blossom
And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,
