"He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:"
— Deuteronomy 28:28, Bible in Basic English
“The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:”
The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.
The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.
He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:
You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.
You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.
Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.
