shalt see.
[35] The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be
healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
[36] The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king
which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there
shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
[37] And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb,
and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
[38] Thou shalt carry much seed out
into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
[39] Thou shalt plant vineyards,
and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
[40]
Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for
thine olive shall cast his fruit.
[41] Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for
they shall go into captivity.
[42] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
[43] The stranger
that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
[44] He shall
lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
[45] Moreover
all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because
thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes
which he commanded thee:
[46] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy
seed for ever.
[47] Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of
heart, for the abundance of all things;
[48] Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD
shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall
put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
[49] The LORD shall bring a nation against
thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not
understand;
[50] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew
favour to the young:
[51] And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be
destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks
of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
[52] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high
and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee
in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
[53] And thou shalt eat
the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath
given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
[54] So that
the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward
the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
[55] So that he will
not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him
in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
[56] The
tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the
ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and
toward her son, and toward her daughter,
[57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between
her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly
in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
[58] If thou wilt not
observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious
and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
[59] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the
plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long
continuance.
[60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid
of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
[61] Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in
the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
[62] And ye shall be
left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not
obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
[63] And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over
you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring
you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
[64] And the
LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there
thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
[65]
And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the
LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
[66] And thy life
shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of
thy life:
[67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would
