1. Leviticus 26:16

   then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.

   ›Commentary on Leviticus 26:162 voices

   “The danger of transgression ought to move us to the observance of the commandments, because the transgressor of the commandments falls into many dangers: first, because he loses many goods; second, because he rushes into abominable crimes; third, because he merits eternal punishments. Transgressors lose …

2. Deuteronomy 28:22

   The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew; these will pursue you until you perish.

   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:222 voices

   “Consumption - שחפת shachepheth, atrophy through lack of food; from שחף shacaph, to be in want. Fever - קדחת kaddachath, from קדח kadach, to be kindled, burn, sparkle; a burning inflammatory fever. Inflammation - דלקת dalleketh, from דלק dalak, to pursue eagerly, to burn after; probably a rapidly consuming cancer. Extreme burning - חרחר charchur, burning upon burning, scald upon scald; from חר char, to be heated, enraged, etc. This probably refers, not only to excruciating inflammations on the body, but also to the irritation and agony of a mind utterly abandoned by God, and lost to hope.

3. Job 30:30

   My skin grows black and peels, and my bones burn with fever.

   ›Commentary on Job 30:302 voices

   “My skin is black upon me,.... Either through deep melancholy, as may be observed in persons of such a disposition, through grief and trouble; or rather through the force of his disease, the burning ulcers and black scabs with which he was covered, as the Jews were through famine, in their captivity, Lam 4:8; and my bones are burnt with heat; with the heat of a burning fever; which not only made his inwards boil, but reached to his bones, and dried up the marrow of them.

   “My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. If we follow the history alone, it appears plain that the skin of the blessed man was blackened by the multitude of ulcers. But according to the mystery of allegory, 'the skin' of Holy Church is understood as her outer appearance. For in the time of persecution the exterior appearance of Holy Church is blackened, because she is seen by persecutors as vile and contemptible. Her 'bones are burned with heat' when those in her who are strongest are afflicted with the burning of tribulation.

4. Psalms 22:15

   My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.

   ›Commentary on Psalms 22:152 voices

   “And so fire cooked the meats of our Lamb, because the very power of His passion rendered Him stronger for resurrection and strengthened Him for incorruption. For He who recovered from death—clearly His flesh was hardened by fire. Hence also through the Psalmist He says: "My strength has dried up like a potsherd." For what is a potsherd before fire except soft clay? But it is subjected to fire so that it may become solid. Therefore the strength of His humanity dried up like a potsherd, because from the fire of passion it grew into the power of incorruption.

   “[We know] that even if … all the bones of Christ appear to be scattered in persecutions and afflictions by the plots of those who wage war against the unity of the temple by persecutions, the temple will be raised up and the body will arise on the third day.

5. Matthew 8:14

   When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

   ›Commentary on Matthew 8:142 voices

   “(Verse 14) And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying down and feverish (or trembling): and he touched her hand, and the fever left her. The hand of the woman is touched, and with her healed works, the weakness of sins departs. It is the nature of human beings that after a fever, their bodies become more tired, and as health begins, they feel the afflictions of sickness.

   “And when Jesus was come into Peter's house,.... And which was also Andrew's, Mar 1:29 for these two brothers lived together, and this was in Capernaum, as appears from the context.

6. Acts 28:8

   The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.

   ›Commentary on Acts 28:82 voices

   “It happened, however, that the father of Publius, afflicted with fever and dysentery, was lying down, etc. Why does he save an infirm unbeliever with prayer, who heals the faithful Timothy and Trophimus, one by medical art and leaves the other entirely, unless because the …
