He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt
This is an idiom. AT: "He will make sure that you again suffer from the diseases of Egypt" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

This is an idiom. AT: "the diseases will not stop, and no one will be able to heal you of them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

Here "every" is a generalization that means "many." This can be stated in active form. AT: "even other sicknesses and plagues that I have not written" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

This can be stated in active form. AT: "until he has destroyed you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
You will be left ... you were like ... you did not listen
Moses is speaking to the Israelites as a group, so all instances of "you" are plural. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
you were like the stars of the heavens in number
This means that in the past there were many Israelites. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
