Deuteronomy 28:39

Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them ,.... Plant them and prune them, in expectation of much fruit from them:

but shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes ; so far from drinking of the wine of them, that they should not be able to gather any grapes from them:

for the worms shall eat them ; a sort of worms pernicious to vines, which the Greeks call "ipes", or "ikes" F15 See Bochart. Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 4. c. 27. Colossians 622,623 . ; and the Latins "convolvuli" and "volvoces", as Pliny F16 Nat. Hist. l. 17. c. 28. .
