Deuteronomy 28:23 in Context — Deuteronomy 28

21 L’Éternel attachera à toi la peste, jusqu’à ce qu’elle te consume dans le pays dont tu vas entrer en possession.

22 L’Éternel te frappera de consomption, de fièvre, d’inflammation, de chaleur brûlante, de desséchement, de jaunisse et de gangrène, qui te poursuivront jusqu’à ce que tu périsses.

23 Le ciel sur ta tête sera d’airain, et la terre sous toi sera de fer.

24 L’Éternel enverra pour pluie à ton pays de la poussière et de la poudre; il en descendra du ciel sur toi jusqu’à ce que tu sois détruit.

25 L’Éternel te fera battre par tes ennemis; tu sortiras contre eux par un seul chemin, et tu t’enfuiras devant eux par sept chemins; et tu seras un objet d’effroi pour tous les royaumes de la terre.
