21 May the Lord set the pestilence upon thee, until he consume thee out of the land, which thou shalt go in 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.

21 May the Lord set the pestilence upon thee, until he consume thee out of the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.

22 May the Lord afflict thee with miserable want, with the fever and with cold, with burning and with heat, and with corrupted air and with blasting, and pursue thee till thou perish.

23 Be the heaven, that is over thee, of brass: and the ground thou treadest on, of iron.
