## Deuteronomy 28:39-40 in Context (Verses 36–43 KJV)
 
 [36 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/36) The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/37) And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/38) Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather *but* little in; for the locust shall consume it.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/39) Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress *them*, but shalt neither drink *of* the wine, nor gather *the grapes;* for the worms shall eat them.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/40) Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint *thyself* with the oil; for thine olive shall cast *his fruit*.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/41) Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.*
 
 [42 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/42) All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.*
 
 [43 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/28/43) The stranger that *is* within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
