Deuteronomy 28:29-31
New American Standard Bible
29 and you will be (A)groping about at noon, just as a person who is blind gropes in the darkness, and you will not be successful in your ways; but you will only be [a]oppressed and robbed all the time, with no one to save you. 30 (B)You will [b]betroth a woman, but another man will [c]violate her; (C)you will build a house, but you will not live in it; you will plant a vineyard, but you will not make use of its fruit. 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat of it; your donkey will be snatched away from you, and will not [d]be restored to you; your [e]sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.

New International Version
29 At midday you will grope(A) about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue(B) you.
30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her.(C) You will build a house, but you will not live in it.(D) You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit.(E) 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them.
