37. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither the Lord shall lead thee away.

38. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.

39. Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worm shall eat them.

43. The stranger that is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher; and thou shalt come down lower and lower.
