32 You will watch with your own eyes as your sons and daughters are given to another nation. You will strain your eyes looking for them all day long, but there will be nothing you can do.
33 People you never knew will eat what your land and your hard work have produced. As long as you live, you will know nothing but oppression and abuse.
34 The things you see will drive you mad.
35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with severe boils that can’t be cured. The boils will cover your whole body from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 The Lord will lead you and the king you choose to a nation that you and your ancestors never knew. There you will worship gods made of wood and stone.
37 You will become a thing of horror. All the nations where the Lord will send you will make an example of you and ridicule you.
38 You will plant many crops in your fields, but harvest little because locusts will destroy your crops.
