028:024 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust:
from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
028:025 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies;
you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven
ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth
among all the kingdoms of the earth.
028:026 Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky,
and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none
to frighten them away.
028:027 Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors,
and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can
not be healed.
028:028 Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness,
and with astonishment of heart;
028:029 and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes
in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways:
and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there
shall be none to save you.
028:030 You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her:
you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein:
you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.
028:031 Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall
not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away
from before your face, and shall not be restored to you:
your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall
have none to save you.
028:032 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people;
and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all
the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand.
028:033 The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation
which you don't know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed
and crushed always;
028:034 so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which
you shall see.
028:035 Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs,
with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole
of your foot to the crown of your head.
028:036 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you,
to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers;
and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone.
028:037 You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword,
among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away.
028:038 You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather
little in; for the locust shall consume it.
028:039 You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall
neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes];
for the worm shall eat them.
028:040 You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders,
but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive
shall cast [its fruit].
