Deuteronomy 28:38 (BSB)
Context Reading
36The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods — gods of wood and stone. 37You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 38You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it. 39You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 40You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
