33 The produce of your land and all your hard work will be consumed by people you don’t know. You will be nothing but oppressed and mistreated constantly.
34 The sights your eyes see will drive you insane.
35 The Lord will strike you with horrible inflammation in your knees and legs, from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. You will be untreatable.
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.
39 You might plant lots of vineyards and work hard in them, but you won’t drink any wine or harvest the grapes because worms will devour them.
