Deuteronomy 28:38-46 - The Curse Of Reversed Status

38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in: for the grasshoppers shall destroy it. 39 Thou shalt plant a vineyard and dress it, but shalt neither drink of the wine neither gather of the grapes: for the worms shall eat it. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees in all thy coasts, but shalt not be anointed with the oil: for thine olive trees shall be rooted out. 41 Thou shalt get sons and daughters, but shalt not have them: for they shall be carried away captive. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall be marred with blasting. 43 The strangers that are among you shall climb above thee up on high, and thou shalt come down beneath a-low. 44 He shall lend thee and thou shalt not lend him, he shall be before and thou behind.

45 "Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee and shall follow thee and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed: because thou hearkenedest not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and ordinances which he commanded thee; 46 and they shall be upon thee as miracles and wonders and upon thy seed for ever.
