Deuteronomy 28:44 in Context — Deuteronomy 28

42 Les insectes prendront possession de tous tes arbres et du fruit de ton sol.

43 L’étranger qui sera au milieu de toi s’élèvera toujours plus au-dessus de toi, et toi, tu descendras toujours plus bas;

44 il te prêtera, et tu ne lui prêteras pas; il sera la tête, et tu seras la queue.

45 Toutes ces malédictions viendront sur toi, elles te poursuivront et seront ton partage jusqu’à ce que tu sois détruit, parce que tu n’auras pas obéi à la voix de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, parce que tu n’auras pas observé ses commandements et ses lois qu’il te prescrit.

46 Elles seront à jamais pour toi et pour tes descendants comme des signes et des prodiges.
