New Living Translation (NLT)
Deuteronomy 28
35 The LORD will cover your knees and legs with incurable boils. In fact, you will be covered from head to foot.
36 “The LORD will exile you and your king to a nation unknown to you and your ancestors. There in exile you will worship gods of wood and stone!
37 You will become an object of horror, ridicule, and mockery among all the nations to which the LORD sends you.
38 “You will plant much but harvest little, for locusts will eat your crops.
39 You will plant vineyards and care for them, but you will not drink the wine or eat the grapes, for worms will destroy the vines.
40 You will grow olive trees throughout your land, but you will never use the olive oil, for the fruit will drop before it ripens.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but you will lose them, for they will be led away into captivity.
42 Swarms of insects will destroy your trees and crops.
43 “The foreigners living among you will become stronger and stronger, while you become weaker and weaker.
44 They will lend money to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, and you will be the tail!
45 “If you refuse to listen to the LORD your God and to obey the commands and decrees he has given you, all these curses will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
