Leviticus 26:16
26:16 I for my part
will do this to you: I will inflict horror on you, consumption and fever, which diminish eyesight and drain away the vitality of life.
You will sow your seed in vain because
your enemies will eat it.
Deuteronomy 28:38
The Curse of Reversed Status
28:38 “You will take much seed to the field but gather little harvest, because locusts will consume it.
Micah 6:15
6:15 You will plant crops, but will not harvest them;
you will squeeze oil from the olives, but you will have no oil to rub on your bodies;
you will squeeze juice from the grapes, but you will have no wine to drink.
Haggai 1:6
1:6 You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.’”
Haggai 2:16-17
2:16 From that time
when one came expecting a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures from it, there were only twenty.
2:17 I struck all the products of your labor
with blight, disease, and hail, and yet you brought nothing to me,’
says the
Lord.
