Leviticus 13

Studie

   

1 Ja Issand rääkis Moosese ja Aaroniga, öeldes:

2 'Inimene, kelle ihunahal on muhk või lööve või valge laik ja see areneb tema ihunahal pidalitõveks, tuleb viia preester Aaroni või mõne tema poja juurde, kes on preester.

3 Kui preester näeb ihunahal löövet ja et karvad lööbes on muutunud valgeks ja et lööve paistab olevat madalam kui muu ihunahk, siis on see pidalitõbi; ja kui preester seda on vaadanud, siis ta peab tema roojaseks kuulutama.

4 Aga kui tema ihunahal on valge laik ja see ei paista olevat nahast madalam ja karvad ei ole muutunud valgeks, siis peab preester nakatatu eraldama seitsmeks päevaks.

5 Preester vaadaku teda seitsmendal päeval, ja vaata, kui lööve on tema silmis endine ja lööve nahal ei ole laienenud, siis preester eraldagu tema uuesti seitsmeks päevaks!

6 Ja kui preester seitsmendal päeval teda jälle vaatab, ja näe, lööve on muutunud kahkjaks ega ole nahal laienenud, siis peab preester tema puhtaks kuulutama: see on ainult kärn; ja ta pesku oma riided, siis ta on puhas.

7 Aga kui kärn nahal lööb ikka laiemaks, pärast seda kui ta on ennast näidanud preestrile puhastamiseks ja nüüd näitab ennast preestrile teist korda

8 ja preester vaatab teda, ja näe, kärn ta nahal on laienenud, siis peab preester tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on pidalitõbi.

9 Kui pidalitõbi on tabanud inimest, siis viidagu ta preestri juurde!

10 Ja kui preester vaatab, ja näe, nahal on valge muhk, karvad selles on muutunud valgeks ja muhus on liigliha:

11 siis on ta ihunahal vana pidalitõbi ja preester kuulutagu tema roojaseks; ta ärgu eraldagu teda, sest ta on ainult roojane!

12 Aga kui pidalitõbi nahal lööb väga välja ja pidalitõbi katab kogu tõbise naha peast kuni jalgadeni, kuhu preestri silmad iganes vaatavad,

13 ja kui preester näeb, et vaata, pidalitõbi on katnud kogu ta ihu, siis peab ta tõbise puhtaks kuulutama; ta on muutunud üleni valgeks, ta on puhas!

14 Aga niipea, kui tal nähtub liigliha, on ta roojane.

15 Ja kui preester näeb liigliha, siis peab ta tema roojaseks kuulutama: liigliha on roojane, see on pidalitõbi.

16 Kui liigliha ennast muudab ja muutub valgeks, siis peab inimene tulema preestri juurde.

17 Ja kui preester teda vaatab, ja näe, lööve on muutunud valgeks, siis peab preester tõbise puhtaks kuulutama; ta on puhas!

18 Ja kui kellegi ihunahal on olnud paise ja see on paranenud,

19 aga paise asemele on tulnud valge muhk või punakasvalge laik, siis peab ta ennast näitama preestrile.

20 Ja kui preester vaatab, ja näe, see paistab olevat madalam kui muu nahk ja karvad on muutunud valgeks, siis peab preester tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on pidalitõbi, mis paises on välja löönud.

21 Ja kui preester seda on vaadanud, ja näe, seal ei ole valgeid karvu ega ole see madalam kui muu nahk, vaid on muutunud ainult kahkjaks, siis preester eraldagu tema seitsmeks päevaks!

22 Ja kui see nahal lööb ikka laiemaks, siis peab preester tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on pidalitõve nakatus.

23 Aga kui valge laik püsib ega laiene, siis on see paise arm ja preester peab tema puhtaks kuulutama.

24 Või kui kellegi ihunahal on tule põletushaav ja põletushaava kasvav liha muutub punakasvalgeks või valgeks laiguks,

25 ja preester vaatab seda, ja näe, karvad laigus on muutunud valgeks ja see paistab olevat madalam kui muu nahk, siis on see põletushaavast välja löönud pidalitõbi ja preester peab tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on pidalitõve nakatus.

26 Ja kui preester seda on vaadanud, ja näe, valges laigus ei ole valgeid karvu ega ole see ka madalam kui muu nahk, vaid on muutunud ainult kahkjaks, siis peab preester tema eraldama seitsmeks päevaks.

27 Ja preester vaadaku teda seitsmendal päeval: kui see on nahal üha laienenud, siis peab preester tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on pidalitõbi.

28 Aga kui valge laik on püsinud ega ole nahal laienenud, vaid on muutunud ainult kahkjaks, siis on see põletushaava muhk ja preester peab tema puhtaks kuulutama, sest see on ainult põletushaava arm.

29 Ja kui mõnel mehel või naisel on nakatus peas või habemes

30 ja preester vaatab seda viga, ja näe, see paistab olevat madalam kui muu nahk ja selles on kollakad udukarvad, siis peab preester tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest see on lubikärn, pea või habeme pidalitõbi.

31 Ja kui preester on näinud lubikärna nakatust, ja vaata, see ei ole madalam kui muu nahk ja selles ei ole kollakaid karvu, siis peab preester selle, kellel on lubikärna nakatus, eraldama seitsmeks päevaks.

32 Ja kui preester seitsmendal päeval nakatust vaatab, ja näe, lubikärn ei ole laienenud, seal ei ole kollakaid karvu ja lubikärn ei paista olevat madalam kui muu nahk,

33 siis peab ta ennast pügama; aga lubikärna ta ärgu pügagu; ja preester peab selle, kellel on lubikärn, uuesti eraldama seitsmeks päevaks.

34 Ja kui preester seitsmendal päeval lubikärna vaatab, ja näe, lubikärn nahal ei ole laienenud ja see ei paista olevat ka madalam muust nahast, siis peab preester tema puhtaks kuulutama; ja olles pesnud oma riided, on ta puhas.

35 Aga kui pärast puhastamist lubikärn nahal üha laieneb

36 ja preester vaatab seda, ja näe, lubikärn nahal on laienenud: siis preester ärgu uurigu kollakaid karvu, ta on roojane!

37 Aga kui lubikärn on tema silmis jäänud endiseks ja selle peale on võrsunud mustad karvad, siis on lubikärn paranenud: ta on puhas ja preester peab tema puhtaks kuulutama!

38 Kui mehe või naise ihunahal on laigud, valged laigud,

39 ja preester vaatab, ja näe, nende ihunahal on kahkjad valged laigud, siis on see ainult ohatis, mis nahal on välja löönud; ta on puhas.

40 Kui mehel langevad juuksed peast, siis on ta kiilaspäine, aga ta on puhas.

41 Ja kui juuksed ta peast langevad laubalt, siis on tal esipaljak, aga ta on puhas.

42 Aga kui kiilaspeal või esipaljakul on punakasvalge lööve, siis on pidalitõbi välja löönud tema paljale pealaele või laubale.

43 Ja kui preester vaatab teda, ja näe, lööbe muhk ta paljal pealael või paljal laubal on punakasvalge, näides nagu pidalitõbi muul ihunahal,

44 siis on mees pidalitõbine, ta on roojane; preester peab tingimata tema roojaseks kuulutama, sest ta on peast nakatatud!

45 Ja pidalitõbisel, kellel on nakatus, olgu rebitud riided, lahtised juuksed, aga habe peidetud, ja ta peab hüüdma: 'Roojane! Roojane!'

46 Niikaua kui tal on lööve, olgu ta roojane; ta on roojane, ta elagu üksinda, ta eluase olgu väljaspool leeri!

47 Ja kui pidalitõve nakatus on riide küljes, olgu villasel riidel või linasel riidel

48 või lõimel või koel linasest ja villasest, või nahal või mõnel nahkesemel,

49 ja kui nakatus on rohekas või punakas riidel või nahal või lõimel või koel või mõnel nahkesemel, siis on see pidalitõbi ja seda tuleb näidata preestrile.

50 Ja kui preester on löövet vaadanud, siis peab ta nakatatud asja eraldama seitsmeks päevaks.

51 Ja kui ta seitsmendal päeval vaatab löövet ja lööve riidel või lõimel või koel või nahal, mõnel nahast tehtud esemel, on laienenud, siis on see pahaloomuline pidalitõbi; see asi on roojane!

52 Ja ta põletagu riie või lõim või kude, olgu see villane või linane, või kõik nahkesemed, millel on lööve, sest see on pahaloomuline pidalitõbi, see tuleb põletada tulega!

53 Aga kui preester vaatab, ja näe, lööve ei ole laienenud riidel või lõimel või koel või mõnel nahkesemel,

54 siis preester käskigu pesta seda, millel on lööve, ja ta eraldagu see uuesti seitsmeks päevaks.

55 Ja kui preester vaatab pärast lööbe pesemist, ja näe, lööbe välimus ei ole muutunud, kuigi lööve ei ole laienenud, on see siiski roojane; sa pead selle tulega põletama, see on sööve, olgu taga- või esiküljes.

56 Ja kui preester seda vaatab, ja näe, lööve on pärast selle pesemist kahkjas, siis ta käristagu see välja riidest või nahast või lõimest või koest!

57 Ja kui veel midagi nähakse riidel või lõimel või koel või mõne nahkeseme peal, siis on see väljalöönud pidalitõbi: sa pead tulega põletama selle, mille peal on lööve!

58 Aga riiet või lõime või kude või mõnda nahkeset, mida on pestud ja millelt lööve on kadunud, pestagu veel kord, siis on see puhas!

59 See on seadus pidalitõve kohta riidel, villasel või linasel, või lõimel või koel või mõnel nahkesemel, selle kuulutamiseks puhtaks või roojaseks.'

Apocalypse Explained # 962

Prostudujte si tuto pasáž

  
/ 1232  
  

962. And there came a great 1 and noxious sore, signifies evil works therein and consequent falsifications of the Word. This is evident from the signification of a "sore," as being works that are done from man, thus that are from what is his own [proprium] and that are evil (of which presently); and as "great" 1 is predicated of good, and in the contrary sense of evil, and "noxious" of what is falsified, therefore "a great 1 and noxious sore" signifies evil works, and consequent falsifications of truth. "Sores" signify works from what is one's own [proprium], and thus evils, because from what is man's own nothing but evil can be produced. For what is man's own is that into which he is born, and which he afterwards carries into effect by means of his life. And as what is his own is thus from very birth composed of mere evils, man must be as it were created anew, that is, regenerated, that he may be in good and thus be received into heaven. When he is being regenerated the evils that are from his own are removed, and goods are implanted in their place, and this is effected by means of truths. That evil works and falsifications of truths are with those who acknowledge faith alone in doctrine, and confirm it in life is meant by what follows, namely, that "a great 1 and noxious sore is on the men who have the mark of the beast and who adore his image."

[2] That "sores" signify works that are from one's own can be seen from the Word where sores and wounds, also diseases of various kinds, as leprosies, fevers, ulcers, emerods, and many others, are mentioned. All of these correspond to the cupidities that arise from evil loves, and thus signify them. Moreover, what sores or wounds signify can be seen from the following passages. In Isaiah:

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; wound, and bruise, and the fresh blow, they have not been pressed out nor bound up nor softened with oil. Your land is a solitude, your cities are burned with fire (Isaiah 1:6, 7).

This describes that there is no good and consequently no truth in the church, but evil and falsity therefrom. "From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness" signifies that both natural and spiritual things which are the interiors of man and of his will have been destroyed. "Wound and bruise and fresh blow" signify the evils of the will, and the falsities of the thought therefrom continually increasing. Evils of the will are also evil works. "Not bound up nor softened with oil" signifies not amended by repentance and tempered by good. "Your land is a solitude, your cities are burned with fire" signifies that the church has been devastated as to all truth, and its doctrinals have been destroyed by a life according to the cupidities that spring from an evil love.

[3] In Hosea:

Ephraim saw his disease, and Judah his wound; and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb, and he was not able to heal you, neither shall he cure you of your wound (Hosea 5:13).

"Ephraim" signifies the church as to the understanding of truth, here as to the understanding of falsity; and "Judah" signifies the will of good, but here the will of evil; the "Assyrian" and "king Jareb" signify the rational perverted as to good and truth. This makes clear the signification of these words in the series, namely, that man is unable from self-intelligence to amend the falsities that spring from the evils of the will, "wound" meaning the evil of the will, which also is the evil of the life.

[4] In David:

Mine iniquities have passed over my head. My wounds have putrefied, they have wasted away because of my foolishness (Psalms 38:4, 5).

Here, too, "wounds" stand for evils of the will, which are evil works, these are said "to putrefy and to waste away because of foolishness" when it is the delight of the will and of the thought therefrom to do them.

[5] In Isaiah:

In the day that Jehovah shall bind up the breach of His people, and shall heal the wound of their blow (Isaiah 30:26).

"The breach of the people" signifies the falsity of doctrine; and "the wound of their blow" the evil of life; the reformation of doctrine by means of truths is signified by "Jehovah shall bind up the breach of His people;" and reformation of the life by means of truths is signified by "He shall heal the wound of their blow."

[6] In Luke:

The Samaritan bound up the wounds of the man disabled by robbers, and poured into them oil and wine (Luke 10:33, 34).

This signifies that by means of truths from good, those who are in the good of charity will to amend the evils that spring from falsities; "robbers" mean those who have infused falsities from which come evils, in particular the Jews; "wounds" mean those evils; "oil" means the good of love; and "wine" the truth of the Word and of doctrine. (But this may be seen explained above, n. 376, 444)

[7] In Luke:

Lazarus, full of sores, who was cast forth at the vestibule of the rich man (Luke 16:20, 21),

signifies the nations that were in falsities from ignorance of truth, and thus were not in goods. From this he is said to have been "fall of sores;" "the rich man" at whose vestibule he was cast forth means the Jewish nation, which could have been in the truths from the Word that it possessed.

[8] That "a boil breaking forth" was one of the plagues in Egypt is evident in Moses:

Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses scatter it towards heaven before the eyes of Pharaoh; and it shall become dust upon all the land of Egypt. And they took ashes of the furnace, and Moses scattered it towards heaven, and it became a boil of pustules breaking forth on man and beast; and the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boil, because the boil was upon the magicians and upon all the Egyptians (Exodus 9:8-11).

"Pharaoh and the Egyptians" signify the natural man obsessed by evils and falsities of every kind, and the natural man's striving after dominion over the spiritual; the spiritual man is here signified by the sons of Israel. The miracles in Egypt, which were so many plagues, also called diseases, signify so many evils and falsities infesting, devastating, and destroying the church which is with spiritual men. "The ashes of the furnace" which Moses scattered towards heaven signify the falsities of lusts that are stirred up; "the dust in the land of Egypt" signifies damnation; "the boil breaking forth in pustules" signifies the filthy things of the will with blasphemies. (But this may be seen explained in detail in the Arcana Coelestia 7516-7532.)

[9] So, too, these words in Moses have a like signification:

Jehovah shall smite thee with the boil of Egypt and with emerods, and with scab and the itch, so that thou canst not be healed, with which thou shalt become mad from the sight of their eyes. Jehovah shall smite thee with an evil boil upon the knees and upon the thighs, of which thou canst not be healed (Deuteronomy 28:27, 34-36).

The plagues here mentioned signify evils and falsities of various kinds arising from the filthy loves of the natural man, for they correspond thereto. For sores and wounds exist from injury to flesh and blood, and evils and falsities from injury to the Divine good and the Divine truth; and flesh corresponds to good, and thus signifies it in the Word, and blood to truth, and thus signifies it.

[10] As "leprosy" signifies the profanation of truth, and the profanation of truth is various, is light or grievous, interior or exterior, and is according to the quality of the truth profaned, so too its effects are various, and these are signified by the appearances in leprosy, which were:

Tumors, suppurating tumors, white pustules, reddenings, abscesses, burnings, tetter, scall (Leviticus 13 to the end). The Jewish nation was afflicted with such things from correspondence because of their profanations of the Word, not only in their flesh, but also in their garments, houses, and vessels.

(Continuation respecting the Second Commandment)

[11] As the Divine truth or the Word is meant by "the name of God," and the profanation of it means a denial of its holiness, and thus contempt, rejection, and blasphemy, it follows that the name of God is interiorly profaned by a life contrary to the commandments of the Decalogue. For there is profanation that is interior and not exterior, and there is profanation that is interior and at the same time exterior, and there can be also a kind of profanation that is exterior and not at the same time interior. Interior profanation is produced by the life, exterior by the speech. Interior profanation, which is produced by the life, becomes exterior also, or of the speech, after death. For then everyone thinks and wills, and so far as it can be permitted, speaks and acts, according to his life; thus not as he did in the world. In the world, for the world's sake and to gain reputation, man is wont to speak and act otherwise than as he thinks and wills from his life. This is why it has been said that there is profanation that is interior and not at the same time exterior. There can also be a kind of profanation that is exterior and not at the same time interior. It can come from the style of the Word, which is not at all the style of the world, and for this reason it may be to some extent despised from ignorance of its interior sanctity.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In the text at the beginning of the chapter it reads "malum et noxium," "evil and noxious" here in the photolithograph Swedenborg first wrote "malum" but crossed this out and wrote over it "magnum" "great," through the following explanation he wrote "magnum" where the word is quoted. The Greek word means evil. In The Apocalypse Revealed Swedenborg translates it "malum" "evil," wherever quoted.

Deuteronomy 28

Studie

   

1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that Yahweh your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth:

2 and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.

4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.

6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.

7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.

8 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

9 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.

10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Yahweh; and they shall be afraid of you.

11 Yahweh will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.

12 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do [them],

14 and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

16 You shall be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be cursed.

18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock shall be cursed.

19 You shall be cursed when you come in, and you shall be cursed when you go out.

20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.

21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.

22 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish.

23 Your sky that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.

24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.

25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

26 Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none to frighten them away.

27 Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

28 Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

29 and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save you.

30 You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use its fruit.

31 Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have none to save you.

32 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand.

33 The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you don't know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;

34 so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

35 Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

36 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods, wood and stone.

37 You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away.

38 You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.

39 You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worm shall eat them.

40 You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive shall cast [its fruit].

41 You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.

42 All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.

43 The foreigner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.

44 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

45 All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:

46 and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever.

47 Because you didn't serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

48 therefore you shall serve your enemies whom Yahweh shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he has destroyed you.

49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you shall not understand;

50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not respect the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,

51 and shall eat the fruit of your livestock, and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

52 They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which Yahweh your God has given you.

53 You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.

54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining;

55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

57 and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your gates.

58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH YOUR GOD;

59 then Yahweh will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.

60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cling to you.

61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you, until you are destroyed.

62 You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky for multitude; because you didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

63 It shall happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the land where you go in to possess it.

64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.

65 Among these nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

66 and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.

67 In the morning you shall say, "I wish it were evening!" and at evening you shall say, "I wish it were morning!" for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
