37 You will become a hated thing to the nations where the Lord sends you; they will laugh at you and make fun of you.
38 You will plant much seed in your field, but your harvest will be small, because locusts will eat the crop.
39 You will plant vineyards and work hard in them, but you will not pick the grapes or drink the wine, because the worms will eat them.
40 You will have olive trees in all your land, but you will not get any olive oil, because the olives will drop off the trees.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but you will not be able to keep them, because they will be taken captive.
42 Locusts will destroy all your trees and crops.
43 The foreigners who live among you will get stronger and stronger, and you will get weaker and weaker.
