Deuteronomy 32:24

32:24 They will be starved by famine,

eaten by plague, and bitterly stung; ¹ 

I will send the teeth of wild animals against them,

along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.

Deuteronomy 28:48

28:48 instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty ²  you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They ³  will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you.

[32:24]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term קֶטֶב (qetev) is probably metaphorical here for the sting of a disease (HALOT 1091-92 s.v.).

[28:48]  ² tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ³ tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).
