of thy
ground,

sworn
to thy
fathers to give to
thee
.

will
make
you
prosper
abundantly—

swore
to your
fathers to give you
.

dost
hearken
unto
the commands
of Jehovah
thy
God, which I am commanding
thee
to-day,
to
keep

nation with
no
respect

hath
eaten
the fruit
of thy
cattle,

of thy
ground,

thee
corn,

thy
walls
come
down

sons and thy
daughters (
whom Jehovah
thy
God hath
given to
thee)
, in the siege ,

the
straitness

very
delicate

bosom
, and against
the remnant
of his sons
whom
he
leaveth
,

gentle
and refined
man
among

embraces
, and the rest
of his children

against
giving
to one
of them of
the flesh of his sons
whom
he eateth,
because he hath
nothing left to
him,
in the siege ,
and in
the
straitness
with
which
thine
enemy doth
straiten
thee
in
all thy
gates.
refusing
to share
with
any
of them the flesh of his children
he will
eat
because he has
nothing left in the siege and distress

enemy will
inflict
on
you
within
all your
gates.
`
The tender
woman in
thee
, and the
delicate,
who
hath
not tried
the sole of her foot to
place
on the ground because
of
delicateness

because
of
tenderness

eye
is
evil
against
the husband of
her
bosom,

her son ,

her
daughter ,

refined
woman among
you

set

begrudge
the husband she
embraces
and her son and daughter
and
against
her
seed
which
cometh
out
from between her feet,
even
against
her
sons
whom
she doth
bear
, for
she doth
eat them for the
lacking
of all
things

secret,
in the siege and in
the
straitness
with
which
thine
enemy doth
straiten
thee
within thy
gates.
the
afterbirth

inflict
on
you
within your
gates.

not careful
to observe
all the words of this law which are written in this book, that
you
may
fear this glorious
and awesome
name —the
LORD
your
God —
then
hath
Jehovah
made
wonderful
thy
strokes,
and the
strokes
of
thy
seed
--
great
strokes
, and stedfast
, and evil
sicknesses,
and stedfast
.
He
will
bring
upon
you
and your
descendants
extraordinary
disasters
, severe
and lasting
plagues
, and terrible
and chronic
sicknesses
.
`And
He hath
brought
back
on
thee
all the diseases of
Egypt, of
the
presence
of
which
thou
hast
been
afraid,
and they have
cleaved
to thee;
He will
afflict
you
again
with
all the diseases you
dreaded
in
Egypt, and they will
cling
to you.
also every sickness and every
stroke
which
is
not written
in the
book of this
law ;
Jehovah
doth
cause
them
to
go
up
upon
thee
till
thou
art
destroyed
,
The
LORD
will
also bring
upon
you
every sickness and plague
not recorded
in this
Book of the
Law, until
you
are
destroyed.
and
ye
have
been
left
with
few
men,
instead
of
which
ye
have
been
as stars of
the heavens
for
multitude
, because thou
hast
not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah
thy
God.
You
who
were
as numerous
as
the
stars in
the sky
will
be
left
few
in
number
, because you
would
not obey
the voice of the
LORD
your
God.
`And
it
hath
been,
as Jehovah
hath
rejoiced
over
you
to do
you good,
and to
multiply you
, so doth
Jehovah
rejoice
over
you
to destroy
you ,
and to
lay
you waste;
and ye
have
been
pulled
away
from off
the ground
whither
thou
art
going
in
to possess it;
Just
as it
pleased
the
LORD
to make
you prosper
and multiply, so also
it
will
please
Him
to annihilate
you and destroy
you .
And you
will
be
uprooted
from the land
you
are
entering
to possess .
and
Jehovah
hath
scattered
thee
among all the peoples
, from the
end of the earth even
unto
the
end
of
the earth;
and thou
hast
served
there other gods which
thou
hast
not
known
, thou
and
thy
fathers
--
wood and stone.
Then
the
LORD
will
scatter
you
among all the nations
, from one
end of the earth to
the other,
and there you
will
worship
other gods, gods
of
wood and stone ,
which
neither
you
nor
your
fathers
have
known
.
`And
among those nations thou
dost
not
rest,
yea,
there
is
no resting -
place for the sole of thy
foot ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
to
thee
there a trembling heart, and
failing of
eyes, and grief
of
soul ;
Among those nations you
will
find
no repose,
not
even
a
resting place for the sole of your
foot .
There the
LORD
will
give
you
a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a
despairing
soul .
and
thy
life hath
been
hanging
in suspense
before thee
, and thou
hast
been
afraid by
night and by
day, and
dost
not
believe
in
thy
life;
So
your
life will
hang
in doubt
before you
, and you
will
be
afraid night and day, never
certain
of
survival.
in the morning thou
sayest
, O
that
it were evening! and in the evening thou
sayest
, O
that
it were morning! from
the
fear
of thy
heart,
with
which
thou
art
afraid,
and
from
the sight
of thine
eyes
which
thou
seest
.
In the morning you
will
say
, ‘If
only
it were evening! ’
and in the evening you
will
say
, ‘If
only
it were morning! ’—because
of the dread
in
your
hearts
of the
terrifying
sights
you
will
see
.
`And
Jehovah
hath
brought
thee
back
to Egypt with
ships ,
by a way
of
which
I said to
thee,
Thou
dost
not
add
any
more
to
see it,
and
ye
have
sold
yourselves
there to thine
enemies ,
for
men-servants
and for
maid-servants
, and
there
is
no buyer
. '
The
LORD
will
return
you
to Egypt in
ships by a route
that
I said you
should
never
see again.
There you
will
sell
yourselves
to your
enemies as
male
and female
slaves
, but
no one
will
buy
you
. ”
