Deuteronomy 28:21-44

211The Lord will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you from the land where you are entering to possess it. 222The Lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with 3the sword and 4with blight and with mildew, and they will pursue you until 5you perish. 236The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron. 247The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.

25“8The Lord shall cause you to be 9defeated before your enemies; you will go out one way against them, but you will flee seven ways before them, and you will 10be an example of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth. 2611Your carcasses will be food to all birds of the sky and to the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.

27“12The Lord will smite you with the boils of Egypt and with 13tumors and with the scab and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. 28The Lord will smite you with madness and with blindness and with bewilderment of heart; 29and you will 1415grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; but you shall only be oppressed and robbed continually, with none to save you. 3016You shall betroth a wife, but another man will violate her; 17you shall build a house, but you will not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but you will not 18use its fruit. 31Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey shall be torn away from you, and will not be restored to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you will have none to save you. 3219Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes look on and yearn for them continually; but there will be nothing 20you can do. 3321A people whom you do not know shall eat up the produce of your ground and all your labors, and you will never be anything but oppressed and crushed continually. 34You shall be driven mad by the sight of 22what you see. 3523The Lord will strike you on the knees and legs with sore boils, from which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. 3624The Lord will bring you and your king, whom you set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, 25wood and stone. 3726You shall become a horror, a proverb, and a taunt among all the people where the Lord drives you.

38“27You shall bring out much seed to the field but you will gather in little, for 28the locust will consume it. 3929You shall plant and cultivate vineyards, but you will neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for the worm will devour them. 4030You shall have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off. 4131You shall 32have sons and daughters but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity. 4233The cricket shall possess all your trees and the produce of your ground. 4334The alien who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, but you will go down lower and lower. 4435He shall lend to you, but you will not lend to him; 36he shall be the head, and you will be the tail.
