40. You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives will drop off.
41. You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go into captivity.
42. Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.
43. The foreigner who is amongst you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.
44. He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45. All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn’t listen to the Lord your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.
