וַיַּסְגֵּ֣ר לַבָּרָ֣ד בְּעִירָ֑ם וּ֝מִקְנֵיהֶ֗ם לָרְשָׁפִֽים׃
און ער האָט איבערגעענטפֿערט צום האָגל זײער פֿי, און זײערע סטאַדעס צו בליצן.

In verse fifteen we read about five staggered cases of decay, corruption, which are introduced by the caption "Yeshurun grew fat and kicked." The result was a) you became fat; b) you grew coarse; c) you grew gross; d) he forsook the Lord who had made you; e) he spurned the Rock of his support. The specific acts of rebellion are listed in verse 16-18. G'ds response which was equally staggered, is listed in verses 19-25. The penalties listed 1) sword, 2) hunger; 3) wild beasts; 4) pestilence, correspond to the four basic elements the earth is made of, i.e. fire/sword; water/famine; dust/wild beasts; air, ruach /pestilence.
