56 The tender and deLICATE Woman among you, which would not adventure to set the Sole of her Foot upon the Ground for DELICATENESS and Tenderness, her Eye shall be EVIL towards the HUSBAND of her Bosom, and towards her Son, and towards her Daughter.

58 If thou wilt not OBSERVE to do all the Words of this Law that are written in this Book, that thou mayest FEAR this GLORIOUS and FEARFUL Name, THE LORD THY GOD;

59 Then the Lord will make thy PLAGUES wonderful, and the Plagues of thy Seed, even great Plagues, and of long Continuance, and fore Sicknefles, and of long Continuance.

60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the Diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

61 Allo every Sickness, and every Plague which is not written in the Book of this Law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be DESTROYED. 62 And ye shall be left Few in Number, whereas ye

65 And among these Nations shalt thou find no Ease, neither shall the Sole of thy Foot have Rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling Heart, and Failing of Eyes, and Sorrow of Mind.

66 And thy Life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shalt FEAR Day and Night, and shalt have none AG surance of thy Life.

67. In the MORNING thou shalt say, Would God it were Even: and at Even thou shalt say, Would God it were MORNING, for the Fear of thine Heart, wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine Eyes which thou shalt see.

68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again, with Ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again : and there ye shall be sold unto your Enemies for Bond-men and Bond-women, and no Man shall buy you.
