25 ^a“The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you shall become¹ troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth.  ‡

26 ^aYour carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten them away.  ‡

29 And you shall ^agrope at noonday, as a blind man gropes in darkness; you shall not prosper in your ways; you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one shall save you.  ‡

30 ^a“You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; ^byou shall build a house, but ^cyou shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes.  ‡
