Deuteronomy 28:16

28:16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the field.

Leviticus 26:19-20

26:19 I will break your strong pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze. 26:20 Your strength will be used up in vain, your land will not give its yield, and the trees of the land will not produce their fruit.

Leviticus 26:26

26:26 When I break off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, and you will eat and not be satisfied.

Habakkuk 3:17

3:17 When the fig tree does not bud,

and there are no grapes on the vines;

when the olive trees do not produce,

and the fields yield no crops;

when the sheep disappear from the pen,

and there are no cattle in the stalls,


tn Heb “the tree of the land will not give its fruit.” The collective singular has been translated as a plural. Tg. Onq., some medieval Hebrew mss, Smr, LXX, and Tg. Ps.-J. have “the field” as in v. 4, rather than “the land.”

tn Heb “When I break to you staff of bread” (KJV, ASV, and NASB all similar).

tn Heb “they will return your bread in weight.”

tn Or “though.”

tn Heb “the produce of the olive disappoints.”

tn Heb “food.”

tn Or “are cut off.”
