Deuteronomy 28:29-33

29and you will be 1gropingH4959 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 2oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 allH3605 the timeH3117, with noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you.

30 3You will 4betrothH781 a womanH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will 5violateH7693 her; 6you 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 7be restoredH7725 to you; your 8sheepH6629 will be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you.

32 9Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 will be givenH5414 to anotherH312 peopleH5971, while your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on and longH3616 for them constantlyH3605 H3117; but thereH369 willH369 beH369 nothingH369 10you can doH3027.

33 11A 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 continuallyH3605 H3117.
