Deuteronomy 28:38

The Curses of Disobedience

37You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.38You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts will consume it.39You will plant and cultivate vineyards, but will neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
