Deuteronomy 28:28-34

English Standard Version

²⁸The Lord will strike you with ^(A)madness and blindness and confusion of mind, ²⁹and you shall ^(B)grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways.^[a] And you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to help you. ³⁰^(C)You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall ravish her. ^(D)You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it. ^(E)You shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy its fruit. ³¹Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat any of it. Your donkey shall be seized before your face, but shall not be restored to you. Your sheep shall be given to your enemies, but there shall be no one to help you. ³²^(F)Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes look on and fail with longing for them all day long, ^(G)but you shall be helpless. ³³A nation that you have not known shall eat up the fruit of your ground and of all your labors, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually, ³⁴so that you are driven mad ^(H)by the sights that your eyes see.
