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.

20 And your ^astrength shall be spent in vain;
for your ^bland shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 ‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

22 ^aI will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;
and ^byour highways shall be desolate.

23 ‘And if ^aby these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

According to the Septuagint, "ague" is "the jaundice," which disorders the eyes and produces great depression of spirits. Others, however, consider the word as referring to a scorching wind; no certain explanation can be given.
