Deuteronomy 28:29-30

28:29 You will feel your way along at noon like the blind person does in darkness and you will not succeed in anything you do; ¹  you will be constantly oppressed and continually robbed, with no one to save you. 28:30 You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape ²  her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.

[28:29]  ¹ tn Heb “you will not cause your ways to prosper.”

[28:30]  ² tc For MT reading שָׁגַל (shagal, “ravish; violate”), the Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate presume the less violent שָׁכַב (shakhav, “lie with”). The unexpected counterpart to betrothal here favors the originality of the MT.
