Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 28:59–62

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. ⁶²You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.
