New American Standard Bible
28 The Lord will strike you with insanity, blindness, and with confusion of [a]mind; 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 [b]oppressed and robbed all the time, with no one to save you. 30 (B)You will [c]betroth a woman, but another man will [d]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.

New International Version
28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 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)
