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.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 28 of Deuteronomy. The curses begin with a structure parallel to the blessings but describe disease, drought, defeat, and loss of productivity. The reversal of agricultural and social conditions shows that the promised land does not automatically guarantee prosperity. Israel’s continued presence in it is connected with covenant faithfulness.

Der HERR wird dich schlagen mit Drüsen Ägyptens, mit Feigwarzen, mit Grind und Krätze, daß du nicht kannst heil werden.
Jehová te herirá de la plaga de Egipto, y con almorranas, y con sarna, y con comezón, de que no puedas ser curado.
Jehová te herirá con las úlceras de Egipto, con tumores, sarna y comezón, sin que puedas curarte.
L'Eternel te frappera de l'ulcère d'Egypte, d'hémorrhoïdes, de gale et de teigne, dont tu ne pourras guérir.
Il Signore ti percoterà dell’ulcere di Egitto, di morici, e di scabbia, e di pizzicore, onde tu non potrai guarire.
O SENHOR te ferirá com as úlceras do Egito, com tumores, e com sarna, e com coceira, de que não possas curar-te;
耶和華必用 埃及 人的瘡、潰瘍、癬和疥攻擊你,使你不得醫治。
