Now, Mr. Crackhead, you've been given some excellent information there by our beloved Sister Basilissa. I do hope that you will take it to heart. And, you should also consider this next passage very carefully, as well, and take it as a personal warning.
Deuteronomy 28:27 " The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
I mean, do you really want the dreaded "itch"?
Sincerely, Isabella W.

Oh, Sister, Deuteronomy 28 is such a beautiful chapter, the ways God enjoys tormenting sinners are just so delightful! From the different diseases (Deuteronomy 28:21-22, 27-28, 35), through taking away one's wife and other possessions (Deuteronomy 28:30-33, 41) and pests feasting on one's crops (Deuteronomy 28:38-39, 42), to my absolute favorite: the curse of eating own children:
Deuteronomy 28:53-58
53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
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 toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
Eating own children definitely beats eating bread baked in human dung!
Ezekiel 4:9-12
9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
