Context of Deuteronomy 28:63
61Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Yhwh bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of Yhwh thy God. And it shall come to pass, that as Yhwh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so Yhwh will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64And Yhwh shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: But Yhwh shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
