23. No rain will fall, and your ground will become as hard as iron.
24. Instead of rain, the Lord will send down duststorms and sandstorms until you are destroyed.
25. “The Lord will give your enemies victory over you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run from them in all directions, and all the people on earth will be terrified when they see what happens to you.
26. When you die, birds and wild animals will come and eat your bodies, and there will be no one to scare them off.
27. The Lord will send boils on you, as he did on the Egyptians. He will make your bodies break out with sores. You will be covered with scabs, and you will itch, but there will be no cure.
28. The Lord will make you lose your mind; he will strike you with blindness and confusion.
29. You will grope about in broad daylight like a blind person, and you will not be able to find your way. You will not prosper in anything you do. You will be constantly oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to help you.
