Leviticus 26:16

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, ^awasting disease and fever which shall ^bconsume the eyes and ^ccause sorrow of heart.
And ^dyou shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 I will¹ set ^aMy face against you, and ^byou shall be defeated by your enemies.
^cThose who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall ^dflee when no one pursues you.

18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you ^aseven times more for your sins.

19 I will ^abreak the pride of your power;
I ^bwill make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

Leviticus 26:16

That shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart - Two remarkable effects of this distemper, when it continues long. It eminently weakens the sight, and sinks the spirit. All chronical diseases are here included in the consumption, all acute in the burning ague or fever.
