Deuteronomy 28:38 in Context — Deuteronomy 28
36 L’Éternel te fera marcher, toi et ton roi que tu auras établi sur toi, vers une nation que tu n’auras point connue, ni toi ni tes pères. Et là, tu serviras d’autres dieux, du bois et de la pierre.
37 Et tu seras un sujet d’étonnement, de sarcasme et de raillerie, parmi tous les peuples chez qui l’Éternel te mènera.
38 Tu transporteras sur ton champ beaucoup de semence; et tu feras une faible récolte, car les sauterelles la dévoreront.
39 Tu planteras des vignes et tu les cultiveras; et tu ne boiras pas de vin et tu ne feras pas de récolte, car les vers la mangeront.
40 Tu auras des oliviers dans toute l’étendue de ton pays; et tu ne t’oindras pas d’huile, car tes olives tomberont.
