Psalms 91:6

91:6 the plague that comes in the darkness,

or the disease that comes at noon. ¹⁰ 

Ezekiel 14:19-21

14:19 “Or suppose I were to send a plague into that land, and pour out my rage on it with bloodshed, killing both people and animals. 14:20 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, they could not save their own son or daughter; they would save only their own lives by their righteousness.

14:21 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send my four terrible judgments – sword, famine, wild animals, and plague – to Jerusalem ¹¹  to kill both people and animals!

¹ tn Heb “old [produce] growing old.”

² tn Heb “and old from the presence of new you will bring out.”

³ tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”

⁴ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.

⁵ tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).

⁶ tn Heb “The Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

⁷ tn Or perhaps “consumption” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV). The term is from a verbal root that indicates a weakening of one’s physical strength (cf. NAB “wasting”; NIV, NLT “wasting disease”).

⁸ tn Heb “hot fever”; NIV “scorching heat.”

⁹ tn Or “drought” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).

¹⁰ sn As in Deut 32:23-24, vv. 5-6 closely associate military attack and deadly disease. Perhaps the latter alludes to one of the effects of siege warfare on the population of an entrapped city, which was especially vulnerable to the outbreak of epidemics.
