Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 28:58–61

58If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name— the LORD your God— 59He will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary disasters, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses. 60He will afflict you again with all the diseases you dreaded in Egypt, and they will cling to you.

61The LORD will also bring upon you every sickness and plague not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
