Deuteronomy 28:58-63

58“If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to 1 2fear this honored and awesome 3name, 4the Lord your God,

59then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you and 5your descendants, even 6severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses.

60 7He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you.

61Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the Lord will bring on you 8until you are destroyed.

62Then you shall be left few in number, 9whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you did not 10obey the Lord your God.

63It shall come about that as the Lord 11delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the Lord will 12delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be 13torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.
