Deuteronomy 28:38-46 - The Curse Of Reversed Status
38 "You shall carry out much seed to the field, but you shall gather little [produce], for the locust shall devour it. 39 You shall plant vineyards and you shall dress [them], but you shall not drink wine and you shall not gather grapes, for the worm shall eat it. 40 There shall be olive trees for you in all of your territory, but you shall not anoint [yourself], for your olives shall drop off. 41 You shall bear sons and daughters, but they shall not be {yours}, for they shall go into captivity. 42 The cricket shall take possession of all your trees and the fruit of your ground. 43 The alien that [is] in your midst shall ascend over you, higher [and] higher, but you shall go down lower [and] lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be [the] head, but you shall be [the] tail.
45 "And all of these curses shall come over you, and they shall pursue you, and they shall overtake you {until you are destroyed}, because {you did not listen} to the voice of Yahweh your God, {by observing} his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you. 46 And they shall be among you as a sign and as a wonder and among your offspring {forever}.
