Context of Deuteronomy 28:34
32“Your sons and daughters will be given to another people while your eyes look on, longing for them all day long—but your hand will be powerless. 33A people you do not know will eat up the produce of your soil and all your labor, and you will be only oppressed and crushed all the time. You will be driven mad by the sight that your eyes will see. 35“Adonai will strike you on the knees and thighs with severe boils, from which you cannot be healed—from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. 36“Adonai will bring you and the king you set over you to a nation you and your fathers have not known—and there you will serve other gods, wood and stone.
