for the worms{H8438} shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} them. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees{H2132} throughout all thy coasts{H1366}, but thou shalt not anoint{H5480}{(H8799)} thyself with the oil{H8081}; for thine olive{H2132} shall cast{H5394}{(H8799)} his fruit. 41 Thou shalt beget{H3205}{(H8686)} sons{H1121} and daughters{H1323}, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go{H3212}{(H8799)} into captivity{H7628}. 42 All thy trees{H6086} and fruit{H6529} of thy land{H127} shall the locust{H6767} consume{H3423}{(H8762)}. 43 The stranger{H1616} that is within{H7130} thee shall get up{H5927}{(H8799)} above thee very{H4605} high{H4605}; and thou shalt come down{H3381}{(H8799)} very{H4295} low{H4295}. 44 He shall lend{H3867}{(H8686)} to thee, and thou shalt not lend{H3867}{(H8686)} to him: he shall be the head{H7218}, and thou shalt be the tail{H2180}. 45 Moreover all these curses{H7045} shall come{H935}{(H8804)} upon thee, and shall pursue{H7291}{(H8804)} thee, and overtake{H5381}{(H8689)} thee, till thou be destroyed{H8045}{(H8736)}; because thou hearkenedst{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} his commandments{H4687} and his statutes{H2708} which he commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign{H226} and for a wonder{H4159}, and upon thy seed{H2233} for{H5704} ever{H5769}. 47 Because thou servedst{H5647}{(H8804)} not the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} with joyfulness{H8057}, and with gladness{H2898} of heart{H3824}, for the abundance{H7230} of all things;

a nation{H1471} whose tongue{H3956} thou shalt not understand{H8085}{(H8799)}; 50 A nation{H1471} of fierce{H5794} countenance{H6440}, which shall not regard{H5375}{(H8799)} the person{H6440} of the old{H2205}, nor shew favour{H2603}{(H8799)} to the young{H5288}: 51 And he shall eat{H398}{(H8804)} the fruit{H6529} of thy cattle{H929}, and the fruit{H6529} of thy land{H127}, until thou be destroyed{H8045}{(H8736)}: which also shall not leave{H7604}{(H8686)} thee either corn{H1715}, wine{H8492}, or oil{H3323}, or the increase{H7698} of thy kine{H504}, or flocks{H6251} of thy sheep{H6629}, until he have destroyed{H6}{(H8687)} thee. 52 And he shall besiege{H6887}{(H8689)} thee in all thy gates{H8179}, until thy high{H1364} and fenced{H1219}{(H8803)} walls{H2346} come down{H3381}{(H8800)}, wherein{H2004} thou trustedst{H982}{(H8802)}, throughout all thy land{H776}: and he shall besiege{H6887}{(H8689)} thee in all thy gates{H8179} throughout all thy land{H776}, which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} thee. 53 And thou shalt eat{H398}{(H8804)} the fruit{H6529} of thine own body{H990}, the flesh{H1320} of thy sons{H1121} and of thy daughters{H1323}, which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} thee, in the siege{H4692}, and in the straitness{H4689}, wherewith thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} shall distress{H6693}{(H8686)} thee: 54 So that the man{H376} that is tender{H7390} among you, and very{H3966} delicate{H6028}, his eye{H5869} shall be evil{H3415}{(H8799)} toward his brother{H251}, and toward the wife{H802} of his bosom{H2436}, and toward the remnant{H3499} of his children{H1121} which he shall leave{H3498}{(H8686)}: 55 So that he will not give{H5414}{(H8800)} to any{H259} of them of the flesh{H1320} of his children{H1121} whom he shall eat{H398}{(H8799)}: because he hath nothing left{H7604}{(H8689)} him in the siege{H4692}, and in the straitness{H4689}, wherewith thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} shall distress{H6693}{(H8686)} thee in all thy gates{H8179}. 56 The tender{H7390} and delicate{H6028} woman among you, which would not adventure{H5254}{(H8765)} to set{H3322}{(H8687)} the sole{H3709} of her foot{H7272} upon the ground{H776} for delicateness{H6026}{(H8692)} and tenderness{H7391}, her eye{H5869} shall be evil{H3415}{(H8799)} toward the husband{H376} of her bosom{H2436}, and toward her son{H1121}, and toward her daughter{H1323}, 57 And toward her young one{H7988} that cometh out{H3318}{(H8802)} from between her feet{H7272}, and toward her children{H1121} which she shall bear{H3205}{(H8799)}: for she shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} them for want{H2640} of all things secretly{H5643} in the siege{H4692} and straitness{H4689}, wherewith thine enemy{H341}{(H8802)} shall distress{H6693}{(H8686)} thee in thy gates{H8179}. 58 If thou wilt not observe{H8104}{(H8799)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} all the words{H1697} of this law{H8451} that are written{H3789}{(H8803)} in this book{H5612}, that thou mayest fear{H3372}{(H8800)} this glorious{H3513}{(H8737)} and fearful{H3372}{(H8737)} name{H8034}, THE LORD{H3068} THY GOD{H430}; 59 Then the LORD{H3068} will make{H6381} thy plagues{H4347} wonderful{H6381}{(H8689)}, and the plagues{H4347} of thy seed{H2233}, even great{H1419} plagues{H4347}, and of long continuance{H539}{(H8737)}, and sore{H7451} sicknesses{H2483}, and of long continuance{H539}{(H8737)}. 60 Moreover he will bring{H7725}{(H8689)} upon thee all the diseases{H4064} of Egypt{H4714}, which thou wast afraid{H3025}{(H8804)} of{H6440}; and they shall cleave{H1692}{(H8804)} unto thee. 61 Also every sickness{H2483}, and every plague{H4347}, which is not written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of this law{H8451}, them will the LORD{H3068} bring{H5927}{(H8686)} upon thee, until thou be destroyed{H8045}{(H8736)}. 62 And ye shall be left{H7604}{(H8738)} few{H4592} in number{H4962}, whereas{H834} ye were as the stars{H3556} of heaven{H8064} for multitude{H7230}; because thou wouldest not obey{H8085}{(H8804)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}. 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD{H3068} rejoiced{H7797}{(H8804)} over you to do you good{H3190}{(H8687)}, and to multiply{H7235}{(H8687)} you; so the LORD{H3068} will rejoice{H7797}{(H8799)} over you to destroy{H6}{(H8687)} you, and to bring you to nought{H8045}{(H8687)}; and ye shall be plucked{H5255}{(H8738)} from off the land{H127} whither thou goest{H935}{(H8802)} to possess{H3423}{(H8800)} it. 64 And the LORD{H3068} shall scatter{H6327}{(H8689)} thee among all people{H5971}, from the one end{H7097} of the earth{H776} even unto the other{H7097}; and there thou shalt serve{H5647}{(H8804)} other{H312} gods{H430}, which neither thou nor thy fathers{H1} have known{H3045}{(H8804)}, even wood{H6086} and stone{H68}. 65 And among these{H1992} nations{H1471} shalt thou find no ease{H7280}{(H8686)}, neither shall the sole{H3709} of thy foot{H7272} have rest{H4494}: but the LORD{H3068} shall give{H5414}{(H8804)} thee there a trembling{H7268} heart{H3820}, and failing{H3631} of eyes{H5869}, and sorrow{H1671} of mind{H5315}: 66 And thy life{H2416} shall hang{H8511}{(H8803)} in doubt before{H5048} thee;
