And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Consumetur incassum labor vester, non proferet terra germen, nec arbores poma præbebunt.

Vulgate

LXX

and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
