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.
1 tn Heb “you will not cause your ways to prosper.”
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.
