then the Lord will overwhelm both you and your offspring with severe and lasting afflictions and grievous and lasting maladies.
60
He will bring back upon you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were in dread, and they shall cling to you.
61
Every other malady and affliction, even though not recorded in the book of this law, the Lord will inflict on you until you are destroyed.
62
Although once you were as numerous as the stars in heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God.
63
And just as the Lord took delight in making you prosperous and numerous, so the Lord will take delight in bringing you to ruin and destruction; you shall be plucked off the land that you are entering to possess.
64
The Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other; and there you shall serve other gods, of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known.
65
Among those nations you shall find no ease, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a languishing spirit.
66
Your life shall hang in doubt before you; night and day you shall be in dread, with no assurance of your life.
67
In the morning you shall say, "If only it were evening!" and at evening you shall say, "If only it were morning!"—because of the dread that your heart shall feel and the sights that your eyes shall see.
68
The Lord will bring you back in ships to Egypt, by a route that I promised you would never see again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer.
