21. The Lord will make a plague stick to you until he has totally wiped you off the fertile land you are entering to possess.
22. The Lord will strike you with consumption, fever, and inflammation; with scorching heat and drought; with destruction and disease for your crops. These things will chase you until you are dead and gone.
23. The sky over your head will be as hard as bronze; the earth under your feet will be like iron.
24. The Lord will turn the rain on your land into dust. Only dirt will fall down on you from the sky until you are completely wiped out.
25. The Lord will hand you over defeated to your enemies. You will go out against them by one direction, but you will run for your life away from them in seven different directions. All the earth’s kingdoms will be horrified by you.
26. Your corpses will be food for every bird in the sky and animal on earth; no one will frighten them off.
27. The Lord will afflict you with Egyptian inflammation, hemorrhoids, rash, and itch. You will be untreatable.
28. The Lord will make you go crazy, make you blind, make your mind confused.
