Deuteronomy 28:58-68

58“IfH518 you are not carefulH8104 to observeH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451 which are writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612, to 12fearH3372 thisH2088 honoredH3513 and awesomeH3372 3nameH8034, 4the LordH3068 your GodH430,

59then the LordH3068 will bringH6381 extraordinaryH6381 plaguesH4347 on you and 5your descendantsH2233, even 6severeH1419 and lastingH539 plaguesH4347, and miserableH7451 and chronicH539 sicknessesH2483.

607He will bringH7725 backH7725 on you allH3605 the diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714 of whichH834 you were afraidH3025, and they will clingH1692 to you.

61AlsoH1571 everyH3605 sicknessH2483 and everyH3605 plagueH4347 whichH834, not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of thisH2088 lawH8451, the LordH3068 will bringH5927 on you 8untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045.

62Then you shall be leftH7604 fewH4592 in numberH4962, 9whereasH8478H834 you were as numerousH7230 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, becauseH3588 you did not 10obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430.

63It shall comeH1961 about that as the LordH3068 11delightedH7797 overH5921 you to prosperH3190 you, and multiplyH7235 you, soH3651 the LordH3068 will 12delightH7797 overH5921 you to make you perishH6 and destroyH8045 you; and you will be 13tornH5255 from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it.

64Moreover, the LordH3068 will 14scatterH6327 you among allH3605 peoplesH5971, from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the other endH7097 of the earthH776; and thereH8033 you shall 15serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68, whichH834 you or your fathersH1 have not knownH3045.

6516Among thoseH1992 nationsH1471 you shall findH7280 noH3808 restH7280, and there will be noH3808 restingH4496 placeH4494 for the soleH3709 of your footH7272; but thereH8033 17the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and despairH1671 of soulH5315.

66So your lifeH2425 shall 18hangH8511 in doubt before you; and you will be in dreadH6342 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and shall haveH539 noH3808 assuranceH539 of your lifeH2425.

6719In the morningH1242 you shall sayH559, ‘WouldH4310H5414 that it were eveningH6153!’ And at eveningH6153 you shall sayH559, ‘WouldH4310H5414 that it were morningH1242!’ becauseH4480 of the dreadH6343 of your heartH3824 whichH834 you dreadH6342, and for the sightH4758 of your eyesH5869 whichH834 you will seeH7200.

68The LordH3068 will bringH7725 you backH7725 to EgyptH4714 in shipsH591, by the wayH1870 about whichH834 I spokeH559 to you, ‘You will neverH3808 seeH7200 it againH3254!’ And thereH8033 you will offerH4376 yourselves for saleH4376 to your enemiesH340 as maleH5650 and femaleH8198 slavesH8198H5650, but thereH369 will be noH369 buyerH7069.”
