Deuteronomy 28:28-35 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.

34. The things you see will cause you to go mad.

35. The Lord will give you sore boils on your knees and legs. They cannot be cured. They will go from the soles of your feet to the tops of your heads.
