Deuteronomy 28:43

The Curses of Disobedience

42Swarms of locusts will consume all your trees and the produce of your land.43The foreigner living among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink down lower and lower.44He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.
