Deuteronomy 28:22

28:22 He ¹  will afflict you with weakness, ²  fever, inflammation, infection, ³  sword, ⁴  blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.

[28:22]  ¹ tn Heb “The Lord.” See note on “he” in 28:8.

[28:22]  ² 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”).

[28:22]  ³ tn Heb “hot fever”; NIV “scorching heat.”

[28:22]  ⁴ tn Or “drought” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).
