Deuteronomy 28

³⁶ The 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.

³⁷ You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

³⁸ You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it.

³⁹ You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.

⁴⁰ You will have olive trees throughout your territory but will never anoint yourself with oil, because the olives will drop off.
