Deuteronomy 28:21-44

211The LordH3068 will make the plagueH1698 clingH1692 to you untilH5704 He has eliminatedH3615 you from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it. 222The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with consumptionH7829, inflammationH6920, feverH1816, feverishH2746 heatH2746, and with 3the swordH2719, 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 will causeH5414 you to be defeatedH5062 byH6440 your enemiesH340; you will goH3318 outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 againstH413 them, but you will fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 from their presenceH6440, and you will 9be an example of terrorH2113 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 2610Your deadH5038 bodiesH5038 will 11serve as foodH3978 for allH3605 birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and for the animalsH929 of the earthH776, and thereH369 willH369 beH369 noH369 oneH369 to frightenH2729 them away.

27“12The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with the boilsH7822 of EgyptH4714 and with 13tumorsH6076, the festeringH1618 rashH1618, and with scabiesH2775, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495. 28The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with insanityH7697, blindnessH5788, and with confusionH8541 of 14mindH3824; 29and you will be 15gropingH4959 aboutH4959 at noonH6672, justH3512 asH3512 a personH5787 who is blindH5787 gropesH4959 in the darknessH653, and you will not beH6743 successfulH6743 in your waysH1870; but you will onlyH389 be 16oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 allH3605 the timeH3117, with noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3017You will 18betrothH781 a womanH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will 19violateH7693 her; 20you will buildH1129 a houseH1004, but you will not liveH3427 in it; you will plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, but you will not makeH2490 useH2490 ofH2490 its fruit. 31Your oxH7794 will be slaughteredH2873 before your eyesH5869, but you will not eatH398 of it; your donkeyH2543 will be snatchedH1497 awayH1497 from you, and will not 21be restoredH7725 to you; your 22sheepH6629 will be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3223Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 will be givenH5414 to anotherH312 peopleH5971, while your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on and longH3616 for them constantlyH3605H3117; but thereH369 willH369 beH369 nothingH369 24you can doH3027. 3325A peopleH5971 whomH834 you do not knowH3045 will eatH398 the produceH6529 of your groundH127 and everyH3605 productH3018 ofH3018 your laborH3018, and you will neverH7534 be anythingH7534 butH7534 oppressedH6231 and mistreatedH7533 continuallyH3605H3117. 34You will also be drivenH7696 insaneH7696 by the sightH4758 of 26whatH834 you seeH7200. 3527The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you on the kneesH1290 and thighsH7785 with severeH7451 boilsH7822 from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495, and strike you from the soleH3709 of your footH7272 to the topH6936 ofH6936 your headH6936. 3628The LordH3068 will bringH1980 you and your kingH4428, whomH834 you appointH6965 overH5921 you, to a nationH1471 that neitherH3808 you norH3808 your fathersH1 have knownH3045, and thereH8033 you shall serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, made of 29woodH6086 and stoneH68. 37And 30you will becomeH1961 an object of horrorH8047, a songH4912 ofH4912 mockeryH4912, and an objectH8148 ofH8148 tauntingH8148 among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you.

38“31You will bringH3318 outH3318 a greatH7227 amountH7227 of seedH2233 to the fieldH7704, but you will gatherH622 inH622 littleH4592, becauseH3588 32the locustH697 will devourH2628 it. 3933You will plantH5193 and cultivateH5647 vineyardsH3754, but you will neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 norH3808 bringH103 inH103 the harvest, becauseH3588 the wormH8439 will eatH398 it. 4034You will haveH1961 oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 your territoryH1366 but you will not anointH5480 yourself with the oilH8081, becauseH3588 your olivesH2132 will dropH5394 offH5394 prematurely. 4135You will fatherH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 but they will not remainH1961 yours, becauseH3588 they will goH1980 into captivityH7628. 4236The cricketH6767 will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of allH3605 your treesH6086 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127. 4337The strangerH1616 whoH834 is amongH7130 you will riseH5927 aboveH5921 you higherH4605 and higherH4605, and you will goH3381 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295. 4438He will lendH3867 to you, but you will not lendH3867 to him; 39he will be the headH7218, and you will be the tailH2180.
