Deuteronomy 28:31 in Context — Deuteronomy 28

29 et tu tâtonneras en plein midi comme l’aveugle dans l’obscurité, tu n’auras point de succès dans tes entreprises, et tu seras tous les jours opprimé, dépouillé, et il n’y aura personne pour venir à ton secours.

30 Tu auras une fiancée, et un autre homme couchera avec elle; tu bâtiras une maison, et tu ne l’habiteras pas; tu planteras une vigne, et tu n’en jouiras pas.

31 Ton bœuf sera égorgé sous tes yeux, et tu n’en mangeras pas; ton âne sera enlevé devant toi, et on ne te le rendra pas; tes brebis seront données à tes ennemis, et il n’y aura personne pour venir à ton secours.

32 Tes fils et tes filles seront livrés à un autre peuple, tes yeux le verront et languiront tout le jour après eux, et ta main sera sans force.

33 Un peuple que tu n’auras point connu mangera le fruit de ton sol et tout le produit de ton travail, et tu seras tous les jours opprimé et écrasé.
