²⁰ The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me. ²¹ The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going. ²² The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete. ²³ And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as iron. ²⁴ The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.
