Deuteronomy 28:27-35

27YhwhH3068 will smiteH5221 thee with the botchH7822 of EgyptH4714, and with the emerodsH6076H2914, and with the scabH1618, and with the itchH2775, whereof thou canstH3201 not be healedH7495.

28YhwhH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and blindnessH5788, and astonishmentH8541 of heartH3824:

29And thou shalt gropeH4959 at noondayH6672, as the blindH5787 gropethH4959 in darknessH653, and thou shalt not prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and spoiledH1497 evermoreH3117, and no man shall saveH3467 thee.

30Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lieH7693H7901 with her: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt not dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt not gather the grapesH2490 thereof.1

31Thine oxH7794 shall be slainH2873 before thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt not eatH398 thereof: thine donkeyH2543 shall be violently taken awayH1497 from before thy faceH6440, and shall not be restoredH7725 to thee: thy sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 unto thine enemiesH341, and thou shalt have none to rescueH3467 them.2

32Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and failH3616 with longing for them all the dayH3117 long: and there shall be no mightH410 in thine handH3027.

33The fruitH6529 of thy landH127, and all thy laboursH3018, shall a nationH5971 which thou knowestH3045 not eat upH398; and thou shalt be only oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 alwayH3117:

34So that thou shalt be madH7696 for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.

35YhwhH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee in the kneesH1290, and in the legsH7785, with a soreH7451 botchH7822 that cannotH3201 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 unto the top of thy headH6936.
