Deuteronomy 28:29-31
English Standard Version
29 and you shall (A)grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways.[a] And you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to help you. 30 (B)You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall ravish her. (C)You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it. (D)You shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat any of it. Your donkey shall be seized before your face, but shall not be restored to you. Your sheep shall be given to your enemies, but there shall be no one to help you.

Deuteronomy 28:29-31
New International Version
29 At midday you will grope(A) about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue(B) you.
30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her.(C) You will build a house, but you will not live in it.(D) You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.(E) 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them.
