²² The Lord will strike you with wasting disease,^(A) with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought,^(B) with blight^(C) and mildew, which will plague^(D) you until you perish.^{(E) 23} The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron.^{(F) 24} The Lord will turn the rain^(G) of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
