But if the priest examines it and ¹  the infection has not spread in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in any article of leather,

This is the law of the one in whom there is a diseased infection, ¹  who does not have sufficient means for his purification.” ² 

The priest must return on the seventh day and examine it, and if ¹  the infection has spread in the walls of the house,

Please stop wounding me! ¹  You have almost beaten me to death! ² 

I will crush his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.

I will kill everything living in Jerusalem, ¹  people and animals alike! They will die from terrible diseases.

“If, however, the priest enters ¹  and examines it, and the ²  infection has not spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest is to pronounce the house clean because the infection has been healed.

The generation to come – your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places – will see ¹  the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the Lord has brought on it.

“For this is what the sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send my four terrible judgments – sword, famine, wild animals, and plague – to Jerusalem ¹  to kill both people and animals!

For by now I could have stretched out ¹  my hand and struck you and your people with plague, and you would have been destroyed ²  from the earth.

So now, forgive my sin this time only, and pray to the Lord your God that he would only ¹  take this death ²  away from me.”

the priest is to command that they wash whatever has the infection and quarantine it for another seven days. ¹ 

The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases ¹  until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.

I will make this city an object of horror, a thing to be hissed at. All who pass by it will be filled with horror and will hiss out their scorn ¹  because of all the disasters that have happened to it. ² 

From earliest times, the prophets who preceded you and me invariably ¹  prophesied war, disaster, ²  and plagues against many countries and great kingdoms.

After I vent my wrath on it Babylon will be uninhabited. ¹  It will be totally desolate. All who pass by will be filled with horror and will hiss out their scorn because of all the disasters that have happened to it. ² 

I will send a plague into the city ¹  and bloodshed into its streets; the slain will fall within it, by the sword that attacks it ²  from every side. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

For we have found ¹  this man to be a troublemaker, ²  one who stirs up riots ³  among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader ⁴  of the sect of the Nazarenes. ⁵ 

A third of your people will die of plague or be overcome by the famine within you. ¹  A third of your people will fall by the sword surrounding you, ²  and a third I will scatter to the winds. I will unleash a sword behind them.

I will send famine and wild beasts against you and they will take your children from you. ¹  Plague and bloodshed will overwhelm you, ²  and I will bring a sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
