New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 28:59-68 Modern English Version (MEV)

59. then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even great long-lasting plagues, and severe and long-lasting sicknesses.

60. Moreover, He will bring all the diseases of Egypt upon you, which you were afraid of, and they will cling to you.

61. Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the Book of the Law will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed.

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

63. It will be that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so the Lord will take pleasure over you to destroy you and to bring you to nothing. You will be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.

64. The Lord will scatter you among all the peoples, from the one end of the earth to the other, and there you will serve other gods, wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.

65. Among these nations you will find no ease, nor will the sole of your foot have rest. But there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul.

66. Your life shall hang in doubt before you. You will be in dread day and night and will have no assurance of your life.

67. In the morning you will say, “Would to God it were evening!” And at evening you will say, “Would to God it were morning!” because of the fear of your heart and because of the sights your eyes will see.

68. The Lord will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way by which I spoke to you, “You will not see it ever again.” And there you will be sold to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
