Deuteronomy 28:28

The Lord shall smite thee with madness
At the calamities befallen them, and through the force of diseases on them:

and astonishment of heart;
at the miserable condition they and their families should be in.

Deuteronomy 28:28 In-Context

26 Carrion birds and animals will boldly feast on your dead body with no one to chase them away.
27 God will hit you hard with the boils of Egypt, hemorrhoids, scabs, and an incurable itch.
28 He'll make you go crazy and blind and senile.
29 You'll grope around in the middle of the day like a blind person feeling his way through a lifetime of darkness; you'll never get to where you're going. Not a day will go by that you're not abused and robbed. And no one is going to help you.
30 You'll get engaged to a woman and another man will take her for his mistress; you'll build a house and never live in it; you'll plant a garden and never eat so much as a carrot;
