Deuteronomy 28:21-44

211The LordH3068 will make the pestilenceH1698 clingH1692 to you untilH5704 He has consumedH3615 you from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it. 222The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with consumptionH7829 and with feverH6920 and with inflammationH1816 and with fieryH2746 heatH2746 and with 3the swordH2719 and 4with blightH7711 and with mildewH3420, and they will pursueH7291 you untilH5704 5you perishH6. 236The heavenH8064 whichH834 is overH5921 your headH7218 shall be bronzeH5178, and the earthH776 whichH834 is underH8478 you, ironH1270. 247The LordH3068 will makeH5414 the rainH4306 of your landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083; from heavenH8064 it shall comeH3381 downH3381 on you untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045.

25“8The LordH3068 shall causeH5414 you to be 9defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340; you will goH3318 out oneH259 wayH1870 againstH413 them, but you will fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them, and you will 10be an example of terrorH2113 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 2611Your carcassesH5038 will be foodH3978 to allH3605 birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and thereH369 will be noH369 oneH369 to frightenH2729 them awayH2729.

27“12The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with the boilsH7822 of EgyptH4714 and with 13tumorsH6076 and with the scabH1618 and with the itchH2775, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495. 28The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with madnessH7697 and with blindnessH5788 and with bewildermentH8541 of heartH3824; 29and you will 1415gropeH4959 at noonH6672, as the blindH5787 manH5787 gropesH4959 in darknessH653, and you will not prosperH6743 in your waysH1870; but you shall onlyH389 be oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 continuallyH3605H3117, with noneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3016You shall betrothH781 a wifeH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will violateH7693 her; 17you shall buildH1129 a houseH1004, but you will not liveH3427 in it; you shall plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, but you will not 18useH2490 its fruitH2490. 31Your oxH7794 shall be slaughteredH2873 before your eyesH5869, but you will not eatH398 of it; your donkeyH2543 shall be tornH1497 awayH1497 from you, and will not be restoredH7725 to you; your sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3219Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 to anotherH312 peopleH5971, while your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on and yearnH3616 for them continuallyH3605H3117; but thereH369 will be nothingH369 20you can doH3027. 3321A peopleH5971 whomH834 you do not knowH3045 shall eatH398 up the produceH6529 of your groundH127 and allH3605 your laborsH3018, and you will neverH7534 be anythingH7534 but oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 continuallyH3605H3117. 34You shall be drivenH7696 madH7696 by the sightH4758 of 22whatH834 you seeH7200. 3523The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you on the kneesH1290 and legsH7785 with soreH7451 boilsH7822, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of your footH7272 to the crownH6936 of your headH6936. 3624The LordH3068 will bringH1980 you and your kingH4428, whomH834 you setH6965 overH5921 you, to a nationH1471 whichH834 neitherH3808 you norH3808 your fathersH1 have knownH3045, and thereH8033 you shall serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, 25woodH6086 and stoneH68. 3726You shall becomeH1961 a horrorH8047, a proverbH4912, and a tauntH8148 among allH3605 the peopleH5971 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you.

38“27You shall bringH3318 out muchH7227 seedH2233 to the fieldH7704 but you will gatherH622 in littleH4592, for 28the locustH697 will consumeH2628 it. 3929You shall plantH5193 and cultivateH5647 vineyardsH3754, but you will neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 norH3808 gatherH103 the grapes, for the wormH8439 will devourH398 them. 4030You shall haveH1961 oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 your territoryH1366 but you will not anointH5480 yourself with the oilH8081, for your olivesH2132 will dropH5394 offH5394. 4131You shall 32haveH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 but they will not be yours, for they will goH1980 into captivityH7628. 4233The cricketH6767 shall possessH3423 allH3605 your treesH6086 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127. 4334The alienH1616 whoH834 is amongH7130 you shall riseH5927 aboveH5921 you higherH4605 and higherH4605, but you will goH3381 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295. 4435He shall lendH3867 to you, but you will not lendH3867 to him; 36he shall be the headH7218, and you will be the tailH2180.
