Deuteronomy 28:15-24

15Obey the Lord your God, and faithfully follow all his commands and laws that I am giving you today. If you don’t, all these curses will come to you and stay close to you:

16You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17The grain you harvest and the bread you bake will be cursed.

18You will be cursed. You will have few children. Your land will have few crops. Your cattle will be cursed with few calves, and your flocks will have few lambs and kids.

19You will be cursed when you come and cursed when you go.

20The Lord will send you curses, panic, and frustration in everything you do until you’re destroyed and quickly disappear for the evil you will do by abandoning the Lord.

21The Lord will send one plague after another on you until he wipes you out of the land you’re about to enter and take possession of.

22The Lord will strike you with disease, fever, and inflammation; heat waves, drought, scorching winds, and ruined crops. They will pursue you until you die.

23The sky above will look like bronze, and the ground below will be as hard as iron.

24The Lord will send dust storms and sandstorms on you from the sky until you’re destroyed.
