25. The Lord will let your enemies defeat you. You will attack them from one direction. But you will run from them in seven directions. And you will become a thing of horror among all the kingdoms on earth.
26. Your dead bodies will be food for all the birds and wild animals. There will be no one to scare them away.
27. The Lord will punish you with boils like those the Egyptians had. You will have bad growths, sores and itches that can’t be cured.
28. The Lord will give you madness, blindness and a confused mind.
29. You will have to feel around in the daylight like a blind man. You will fail in everything you do. People will hurt you and steal from you every day. There will be no one to save you.
30. You will be engaged to a woman. But another man will rape her. You will build a house. But you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard. But you will not get its grapes.
31. Your ox will be killed before your eyes. But you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away from you. And it will not be brought back. Your sheep will be given to your enemies. And no one will rescue them.
32. Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation. You will grow tired looking for them every day. But there is nothing you can do.
33. People you don’t know will eat the crops your land and hard work have produced. You will be mistreated and abused all your life.
