Deuteronomy 28:38 in Context — Deuteronomy 28

36 Jehová llevará á ti, y á tu rey que hubieres puesto sobre ti, á gente que no conociste tú ni tus padres; y allá servirás á dioses ajenos, al palo y á la piedra.

37 Y serás por pasmo, por ejemplo y por fábula, á todos los pueblos á los cuales te llevará Jehová.

38 Sacarás mucha simiente al campo, y cogerás poco; porque la langosta lo consumirá.

39 Plantarás viñas y labrarás, mas no beberás vino, ni cogerás [uvas]; porque el gusano las comerá.

40 Tendrás olivas en todo tu término, mas no te ungirás con el aceite; porque tu aceituna se caerá.
