Deuteronomy 28:37

Blessings And Curses

³⁶ Yahweh will bring thee and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, - and thou shalt serve there other gods of wood and of stone. ³⁷ Thus shalt thou become a horror, a byword, and a mockery, among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God will drive thee. ³⁸ Much seed, shalt thou take out into the field, - and little, shalt thou gather in, for the locust shall consume it.
