Deuteronomy 32:24

The meltings of hunger, The devourings of fever, And the dangerous pestilence,—And, the tooth of beasts, will I send among them, With the poison of crawlers of the dust:

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

In Context

25Without, shall the sword bereave, In the inmost recesses, terror,—To both young man and virgin, Suckling, with man of grey hairs.
