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.
40. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil: for thine olive shall cast its fruit.
41. Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine; for they shall go into captivity.
42. All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess.
