← Deuteronomy 28:37	Deuteronomy 28:38 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 28:39 →
And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.	Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather [but] little in; for the locust shall consume it.	Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress [them], but shalt neither drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worms shall eat them.
