23
The sky over your head will become an iron roof, the ground under your feet, a slab of concrete.
24
From out of the skies God will rain ash and dust down on you until you suffocate.
25
God will defeat you by enemy attack. You'll come at your enemies on one road and run away on seven roads. All the kingdoms of Earth will see you as a horror.
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;
31
you'll watch your ox get butchered and not get a single steak from it; your donkey will be stolen from in front of you and you'll never see it again; your sheep will be sent off to your enemies and no one will lift a hand to help you.
32
Your sons and daughters will be shipped off to foreigners; you'll wear your eyes out looking vainly for them, helpless to do a thing.
33
Your crops and everything you work for will be eaten and used by foreigners; you'll spend the rest of your lives abused and knocked around.
