New Testament

Deuteronomy 28:29-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.

30. May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.

31. May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.

32. May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.

33. May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.

34. And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.
