Deuteronomy 28:21

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.

Deuteronomy 28:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 28:21

The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee
Not only to come upon them; but to continue with them:

until he have consumed thee from off the land whither thou goest to
possess it;
which shows that this respects not some particular seasons, when the pestilence came and continued awhile, and then ceased, as in the times of David; but when it became more general, and issued with other judgments in the utter consumption of them, as at the destruction of Jerusalem, both by the Babylonians and the Romans; at what times the pestilence raged and remained, until by that and other sore judgments the land was wholly depopulated.

Deuteronomy 28:21 In-Context

19 You will be cursed when you are out and about and cursed when you come back.
20 The LORD will send calamity, confusion, and frustration on you no matter what work you are doing until you are wiped out and until you disappear—it'll be quick!—because of the evil acts by which you have abandoned him.
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.
