Curses by Disease and Drought

20 “The Lord will send on you a curse, confusing you and opposing you[a] in everything you undertake[b] until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the evil of your deeds, in that you have forsaken me.[c] 21 The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases[d] until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess. 22 He[e] will afflict you with weakness,[f] fever, inflammation, infection,[g] sword,[h] blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.
