Deuteronomy 28:29

Blessings And Curses

²⁸ The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness, and mental confusion, ²⁹ so that at noon you will grope as a blind man gropes in the dark. You will not be successful in anything you do. You will only be oppressed and robbed continually, and no one will help you. ³⁰ You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will rape her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
