'Cling' in the Bible

Yahweh your God, you shall revere him, you shall serve him, and to him you shall cling, and by his name you shall swear.

And let not something cling to your hand from the things devoted to destruction, so that Yahweh may turn back {from his burning anger}, and he may show compassion to you and he may [continue] to show compassion and [so] multiply you {just as he swore} to your ancestors,

Yahweh will cause the plague to cling to you {until it consumes you} from the land that you [are] going to, to take possession of it.
