Deuteronomy 28:57-67 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

57. and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her legs and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you in your towns.

58. "If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honored and awesome name, the Lord your God,

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

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

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

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

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

64. Moreover, the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known.

65. Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul.

66. So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.

67. In the morning you shall say, 'Would that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Would that it were morning!' because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see.
