Deuteronomy 28:27

Verse 27 of 68. The 28th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

23Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.

24The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed.

25The LORD will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

26Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away.

27The LORD will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

28The LORD will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart.

29You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, and there will be no one to save you.

30You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit.

31Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.
