Deuteronomy 28:25-37 - Curses By Defeat And Deportation

²⁵ Yahweh will give thee up to be routed before thine enemies, one way, shalt thou go out against them, and, seven ways, shalt thou flee before them, - and thou shalt become a terror unto all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy dead body shall become food for every bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth, - with none to fright them away.

²⁷ Yahweh, will smite thee, with the burning sores of Egypt and with the hemorrhoids, and with scab, and with itch, - of which thou canst not be healed. ²⁸ Yahweh, will smite thee, with madness and with blindness, - and with terror of heart; ²⁹ and thou shalt he groping about in noonday brightness, as the blind man gropeth in thick darkness, and thou shalt not make thy ways prosper, - but shalt be only oppressed and spoiled all the days with none to save. ³⁰ A wife, shalt thou betroth, and, another man shall lie with her. A house, shalt thou build, and shalt not dwell therein, - A vineyard, shalt thou plant, and shalt not throw it open; ³¹ Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof, Thine ass stolen from before thee, and shall not be restored to thee, - Thy flock given to thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, thine eyes looking on, and failing for them all the day, thine own hand being powerless. ³³ The fruit of thy soil, and all thy toilsome produce, shall a people whom thou knowest not, eat up, - and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed, all the days; ³⁴ so that thou shalt be mad, - for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ Yahweh, will smite thee, with a grievous boil, upon the knees and upon the legs, of which thou canst not he healed, - from the sole of thy foot even unto the crown of thy head.

³⁶ Yahweh will bring thee and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, - and thou shalt serve there other gods of wood and of stone. ³⁷ Thus shalt thou become a horror, a byword, and a mockery, among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God will drive thee.
