Defeat, Disease, and Humiliation

25

The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them in one direction but flee from them in seven. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

26

Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the air and beasts of the earth, with no one to scare them away.

27

The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors and scabs and itch from which you cannot be cured.

28

The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind,

29

and at noon you will grope about like a blind man in the darkness. You will not prosper in your ways. Day after day you will be oppressed and plundered, with no one to save you.

30

You will be pledged in marriage to a woman, but another man will violate her. You will build a house but will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but will not enjoy its fruit.

31

Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will save you.

32

Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, while your eyes grow weary looking for them day after day, with no power in your hand.

33

A people you do not know will eat the produce of your land and of all your toil. All your days you will be oppressed and crushed.

34

You will be driven mad by the sights you see.

35

The LORD will afflict you with painful, incurable boils on your knees and thighs, from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.

36

The LORD will bring you and the king you appoint to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone.

37

You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
