Context of Deuteronomy 28:26
24There will be clouds of dust instead of rain. Dirt will come down from the sky until it has destroyed you. 25The Lord will let your enemies knock you down. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run away from them in seven directions. When the people of other nations see what has happened to you, they will see it is a terrible thing. Your dead bodies will be food for all the birds and the wild animals. No one will be there to chase them away. 27The Lord will cause you to have boils on your bodies. That is what he did to the Egyptians. He will also cause you to have tumours and other bad diseases on your skin. You will not be able to get well again. 28The Lord will make you crazy and blind. He will confuse your thoughts.
