Context of Deuteronomy 28:33

31Someone will kill your bull while you watch. But you will not eat any of the meat. As you watch, someone will take your donkey from you. He will never give it back to you. Your enemies will take your sheep for themselves. There will be no one there to help you. 32Foreign people will take your children away to be their slaves. Every day, you will look for them to come back to you. But you will have no power to do anything. Strangers will eat the food that you have worked hard to grow in your fields. People will be cruel to you for the rest of your lives. 34When you see what is happening to you, you will become crazy. 35The Lord will cause you to have boils on your knees and on your legs. They will give you much pain and they will never get better. They will soon cover your whole body, from your toes to the top of your head.
