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.
34
What you see will drive you crazy.
35
God will hit you with painful boils on your knees and legs and no healing or relief from head to foot.
36
God will lead you and the king you set over you to a country neither you nor your ancestors have heard of; there you'll worship other gods, no-gods of wood and stone.
37
Among all the peoples where God will take you, you'll be treated as a lesson or a proverb - a horror!
