1. 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 28:221 voice

   “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.”

2. Amos 4:9

   “I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,” declares the LORD.

   ›Commentary on Amos 4:92 voices

   “I have smitten you with blasting and mildew,.... ‘Blasting’ is what we commonly call ‘blights’, generally occasioned by an east wind; and so Kimchi interprets the word here used; and the Vulgate Latin version renders it, ‘a burning wind’; which causes the buds and leaves of trees to shrivel up as if they were burnt with fire.”

   “I have smitten you with blasting - Literally, ‘an exceeding scorching,’ such as the hot east wind produced, and ‘an exceeding mildew,’ a blight, in which the ears turn untimely a pale yellow, and have no grain. Both words are doubly intensive. They stand together in the prophecy of Moses Deu 28:22, among the other scourges of disobedience; and the mention of these would awaken, in those who would hear, the memory of a long train of other warnings and other judgments.”

3. Haggai 2:17

   I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.

   ›Commentary on Haggai 2:172 voices

   “I smote you with blasting and mildew, - two diseases of grain, which Moses had foretold Deu 28:27. as chastisements on disobedience and God’s infliction, of which Amos had spoken in these self-same words. Amo 4:9. Haggai adds the hail, as destructive of the vines. Psa 78:47. Yet (And) ye turned you not to Me literally ‘there were none’ - your, (accusative i. e., who turned you unto Me. The words are elliptical, but express the entire absence of conversion, of any who turned to God.”

   “Appropriated from Am 4:9, whose canonicity is thus sealed by Haggai's inspired authority; in the last clause, ‘turned,’ however, has to be supplied, its omission marking by the elliptical abruptness (‘yet ye not to Me!’) God's displeasure.”
