²⁹ You will have to feel around ·in the daylight [at noon] like a blind person in darkness. You will ·fail in everything you do [^Lnot succeed in your way]. People will ·hurt [oppress] you and steal from you every day, and no one will ·save [help] you.

³⁰ You will be engaged to a woman, but another man will ·force her to have sexual relations with him [have her]. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not ·get its grapes [^Lenjoy it]. ³¹ Your ox will be ·killed [slaughtered; butchered] before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be ·taken away [stolen] from you, and it will not be brought back. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will ·save [help] you.
