"If you are not careful to ^(F1)follow all the words of this Law that are written in this book, to ^(F2)(C1)fear this honored and awesome ^(C2)name, ^(F3)the LORD your God,

then the LORD will bring extraordinary plagues on you and ^(F1)your descendants, ^(F2)severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses.

"^(C1)And He will bring back on you every disease of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you.

"Also every sickness and every plague, which are not written in the book of this Law, the LORD will bring on you ^(C1)until you are destroyed.

"Then you will be left few in ^(F1)number, ^(C1)whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you did not ^(F2)obey the LORD your God.

"And it will come about that, just as the LORD ^(C1)rejoiced over you to be good to you, and make you numerous, so will the LORD ^(C2)rejoice over you to wipe you out and destroy you; and you will be ^(C3)torn away from the land which you are entering to possess.

"Furthermore, the LORD will ^(C1)scatter you among all the peoples, from one end of the earth to ^(F1)the other; and there you will ^(C2)serve other gods, made of wood and stone, which you and your fathers have not known.

"^(C1)Among those nations you will find no peace, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there ^(C2)the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul.

"So your lives will be ^(F1)hanging in doubt before you; and you will be terrified night and day, and have no assurance of your life.
