Deuteronomy 28:41-43

New International Reader's Version

⁴¹ You will have children. But you won’t be able to keep them. They’ll be taken away as prisoners. ⁴² Large numbers of locusts will eat up the leaves on all your trees. They will also eat up the crops on your land.

⁴³ Outsiders who live among you will become your leaders. They will rise higher and higher. But you will sink lower and lower.
