Deuteronomy 28 — Context

24

Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.

25

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.

26

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.

27

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.

28

Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

29

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.

30

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 its fruit.
