Deuteronomy 28:25–41

^25gThe Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and ^hshalt be ^†removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶And ⁱthy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and ^jno man shall fray them away. ²⁷The Lord will smite thee with ^kthe botch of Egypt, and with ^lthe emerods, and with ^mthe scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. ²⁸The Lord shall smite thee with ⁿmadness, and blindness, and ^oastonishment of heart: ²⁹And thou shalt ^pgrope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. ^30qThou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: ^rthou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not ^†gather the grapes thereof. ³¹Thine 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. ³²Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and ^sfail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be ^tno might in thine hand. ³³The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; ^uand thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: ³⁴So that thou shalt be mad ^vfor the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore ^wbotch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. ³⁶The Lord shall ^xbring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and ^ythere shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷And thou shalt become ^zan astonishment, ^aa proverb, and ^za byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. ^38bThou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for ^cthe locust shall consume it. ³⁹Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. ⁴⁰Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. ⁴¹Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but ^†thou shalt not enjoy them; for ^dthey shall go into captivity.
