The Curse of Reversed Status
28:38 “You will take much seed to the field but gather little harvest, because locusts will consume it.
28:39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will not drink wine or gather in grapes, because worms will eat them.
28:40 You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with olive oil, because the olives will drop off the trees while still unripe.
28:41 You will bear sons and daughters but not keep them, because they will be taken into captivity.
28:42 Whirring locusts will take over every tree and all the produce of your soil.
Deuteronomy 28:52-61
28:52 They will besiege all of your villages
until all of your high and fortified walls collapse – those in which you put your confidence throughout the land. They will besiege all your villages throughout the land the
Lord your God has given you.
28:53 You will then eat your own offspring,
the flesh of the sons and daughters the
Lord your God has given you, because of the severity of the siege
by which your enemies will constrict you.
28:54 The man among you who is by nature tender and sensitive will turn against his brother, his beloved wife, and his remaining children.
28:55 He will withhold from all of them his children’s flesh that he is eating (since there is nothing else left), because of the severity of the siege by which your enemy will constrict
you in your villages.
28:56 Likewise, the most
tender and delicate of your women, who would never think of putting even the sole of her foot on the ground because of her daintiness,
will turn against her beloved husband, her sons and daughters,
28:57 and will secretly eat her afterbirth
and her newborn children
(since she has nothing else),
because of the severity of the siege by which your enemy will constrict you in your villages.
The Curse of Covenant Termination
28:58 “If you refuse to obey all the words of this law, the things written in this scroll, and refuse to fear this glorious and awesome name, the Lord your God,
28:59 then the Lord will increase your punishments and those of your descendants – great and long-lasting afflictions and severe, enduring illnesses.
28:60 He will infect you with all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will persistently afflict you.
28:61 Moreover, the Lord will bring upon you every kind of sickness and plague not mentioned in this scroll of commandments, until you have perished.
