New Testament

Deuteronomy 28:31-36 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

31. Your ox will be killed right in front of your eyes. But you won't eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away from you by force. And you will never get it back. Your sheep will be given to your enemies. No one will be able to save them.

32. Your children will be given to another nation. Day after day you will watch for them to come back. But you will only wear out your eyes. You won't be able to help your children.

33. A nation you don't know anything about will eat what you work to produce on your land. You will be completely beaten down as long as you live.

34. The things you see will make you lose your mind.

35. The Lord will send painful boils on your knees and legs. No one will be able to heal them. They will cover you from head to toe.

36. The Lord will drive you out of the land. And he will drive out the king you place over you. All of you will go to a nation you and your people long ago didn't know anything about. There you will worship other gods. They will be made out of wood and stone.
