Deuteronomy 28:29-33

29and you will be 1groping about at noon, just as a person who is blind gropes in the darkness, and you will not be successful in your ways; but you will only be 2oppressed and robbed all the time, with no one to save you.

30 3You will 4betroth a woman, but another man will 5violate her; 6you will build a house, but you will not live in it; you will plant a vineyard, but you will not make use of its fruit.

31Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey will be snatched away from you, and will not 7be restored to you; your 8sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.

32 9Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, while your eyes look on and long for them constantly; but there will be nothing 10you can do.

33 11A people whom you do not know will eat the produce of your ground and every product of your labor, and you will never be anything but oppressed and mistreated continually.
