22 The Lord will punish you with disease, fever, swelling, heat, lack of rain, plant diseases, and mildew until you die.
23 The sky above will be like bronze, and the ground below will be like iron.
24 The Lord will turn the rain into dust and sand, which will fall from the skies until you are destroyed.
25 The Lord will help your enemies defeat you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run from them in seven directions. And you will become a thing of horror among all the kingdoms on earth.
26 Your dead bodies will be food for all the birds and wild animals, and there will be no one to scare them away.
27 The Lord will punish you with boils like those the Egyptians had. You will have bad growths, sores, and itches that can’t be cured.
28 The Lord will give you madness, blindness, and a confused mind.
