58 “If you do not diligently observe[a] all the words of this law written in this scroll by revering this glorious and awesome name, Yahweh your God, 59 then Yahweh shall overwhelm you with your plagues and the plagues of your offspring, severe plagues and lasting illnesses, grievous and enduring. 60 And he shall bring back upon you all the diseases of Egypt concerning which you were in dread[b] because of them.[c] 61 Also any illness and any plague[d] that is not written in the scroll of this law, he shall bring them, Yahweh, upon you until you are destroyed. 62 And you shall remain only a few people[e] in place of the fact you were formerly as the stars of heaven as far as number is concerned, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God. 63 And then[f] as Yahweh delighted over you to make you prosperous[g] to make you numerous, so Yahweh shall delight over you to exterminate you[h] and to destroy you, and so you shall be plucked from the land that you are going there to take possession of it.
