29 so that even at midday you will grope in the dark as though blind, unable to find your way. You will be oppressed and robbed continually, with no one to come to your aid.
30 Though you betroth a wife, another will have her. Though you build a house, you will not live in it. Though you plant a vineyard, you will not pluck its fruits.
31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat its flesh. Your donkey will be stolen in your presence, but you will never get it back. Your flocks will be given to your enemies, with no one to come to your aid.
32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another people while you strain your eyes looking for them every day, having no power to do anything.
33 A people you do not know will consume the fruit of your soil and of all your labor, and you will be thoroughly oppressed and continually crushed,
34 until you are driven mad by what your eyes must look upon.
35 The Lord will strike you with malignant boils of which you cannot be cured, on your knees and legs, and from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head.
