New Testament

Deuteronomy 28:24-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder. It will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.

25. The Lord will help your enemies win the battle over you. You will come at them from one direction. But you will run away from them in seven directions. You will look so bad that all of the kingdoms on earth will be completely shocked when they see you.

26. Birds and wild animals will eat up your dead bodies. There won't be anyone left to scare them away.

27. The Lord will send boils on you, just like the ones he sent on the Egyptians. You will have growths in your bodies and boils on your skin. You will itch all over. No one will be able to heal you.

28. The Lord will make you lose your mind. He will make you blind. You won't know what's going on.

29. Even at noon you will have to feel your way around like a blind person in the dark. You won't have success in anything you do. Day after day you will be robbed and beaten down. No one will be able to save you.

30. You and a woman will promise to get married to each other. But another man will take her and rape her. You will build a house. But you won't live in it. You will plant a vineyard. But you won't eat a single grape from it.
