Pestilence
In 2 Kings 1:2; Psalm 38:7; Exodus 15:26; Luke 6:17, this signifies temptations, and corresponds with the state of the man's spirit. (Arcana Coelestia 5711)
In Deuteronomy 7:15, this signifies the evils which assail people in faith separate from charity, and so in a life of evil. (Arcana Coelestia 8364)
In Matthew 4:24, disease or illness signifies various kinds of evils and falsities infesting the church and the human race, which if allowed to continue, would have induced spiritual death. (Arcana Coelestia 8364) 'Pestilence' denotes the vastation of good and truth.

Jeremiah 21:6-7
6
I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7
Afterward, says Yahweh, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
