And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there Jehovah shall give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and fainting soul.

In the morning you shall say, Oh, that it were evening! And at evening you shall say, Oh, that it were morning! because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.

The sword from outside, and the terror from within, shall bereave the young man and virgin, the nursing child and the man of gray hairs.

The wicked man writhes with pain all his days, and the number of years is stored up for the ruthless.

Dreadful sounds are in his ears; during peace, devastation comes upon him.

Jehovah will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with burning fever, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.

Jehovah will strike you in the knees and on the legs with severe boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no might in your hand.

So it was that when Israel had sown, the Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the sons of the East would come up against them.

For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as the abundance of locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.

then let me sow, and another eat; yea, let my harvest be rooted out.
