23 The sky above you will be bronze, and the earth beneath you iron.
24 The Lord will turn the rain of your land into falling dust; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the land, with no one to scare them away.
27 “The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, tumors, a festering rash, and scabies, from which you cannot be cured.
28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness, and mental confusion,
29 so that at noon you will grope as a blind man gropes in the dark. You will not be successful in anything you do. You will only be oppressed and robbed continually, and no one will help you.
