Psalms 91:6

Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.

Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.

Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
