Deuteronomy 28:30-45
New International Version
30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her.(A) You will build a house, but you will not live in it.(B) You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.(C) 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation,(D) and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression(E) all your days.(F) 34 The sights you see will drive you mad.(G) 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils(H) that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.(I)
36 The Lord will drive you and the king(J) you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors.(K) There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.(L) 37 You will become a thing of horror,(M) a byword(N) and an object of ridicule(O) among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.(P)
38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little,(Q) because locusts(R) will devour(S) it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine(T) or gather the grapes, because worms will eat(U) them.(V) 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.(W) 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.(X) 42 Swarms of locusts(Y) will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower.(Z) 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them.(AA) They will be the head, but you will be the tail.(AB)
45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you(AC) until you are destroyed,(AD) because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.

King James Version
Deuteronomy 28:30-45
King James Version
30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.
38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
