Deuteronomy 28:15-35
15“1But it shall comeH1961 about, ifH518 you do not 2obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to observeH6213 to doH6213 allH3605 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 with whichH834 I chargeH6680 you todayH3117, that allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 will comeH935 upon you and overtakeH5381 you:
16“3CursedH779 shall you be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 shall you be in the 4countryH7704.
17“5CursedH779 shall be your basketH2935 and your kneadingH4863 bowlH4863.
18“6CursedH779 shall be the 7offspringH6529 of your 8bodyH990 and the 9produceH6529 of your groundH127, the increaseH7698 of your herdH504 and the youngH6251 of your flockH6629.
19“10CursedH779 shall you be when you comeH935 in, and cursedH779 shall you be when you goH3318 out.
20“11The LordH3068 will sendH7971 upon you cursesH3994, confusionH4103, and 12rebukeH4045, in allH3605 13you undertakeH3027H4916 to doH6213, untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045 and untilH5704 14you perishH6 quicklyH4118, on accountH4480H6440 of the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611, becauseH834 you have forsakenH5800 Me. 2115The LordH3068 will make the pestilenceH1698 clingH1692 to you untilH5704 He has consumedH3615 you from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423 it. 2216The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with consumptionH7829 and with feverH6920 and with inflammationH1816 and with fieryH2746 heatH2746 and with 17the swordH2719 and 18with blightH7711 and with mildewH3420, and they will pursueH7291 you untilH5704 19you perishH6. 2320The heavenH8064 whichH834 is overH5921 your headH7218 shall be bronzeH5178, and the earthH776 whichH834 is underH8478 you, ironH1270. 2421The LordH3068 will makeH5414 the rainH4306 of your landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083; from heavenH8064 it shall comeH3381 downH3381 on you untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045.
25“22The LordH3068 shall causeH5414 you to be 23defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340; you will goH3318 out oneH259 wayH1870 againstH413 them, but you will fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them, and you will 24be an example of terrorH2113 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 2625Your carcassesH5038 will be foodH3978 to allH3605 birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and to the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and thereH369 will be noH369 oneH369 to frightenH2729 them awayH2729.
27“26The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with the boilsH7822 of EgyptH4714 and with 27tumorsH6076 and with the scabH1618 and with the itchH2775, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495. 28The LordH3068 will smiteH5221 you with madnessH7697 and with blindnessH5788 and with bewildermentH8541 of heartH3824; 29and you will 2829gropeH4959 at noonH6672, as the blindH5787 manH5787 gropesH4959 in darknessH653, and you will not prosperH6743 in your waysH1870; but you shall onlyH389 be oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 continuallyH3605H3117, with noneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3030You shall betrothH781 a wifeH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will violateH7693 her; 31you shall buildH1129 a houseH1004, but you will not liveH3427 in it; you shall plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, but you will not 32useH2490 its fruitH2490. 31Your oxH7794 shall be slaughteredH2873 before your eyesH5869, but you will not eatH398 of it; your donkeyH2543 shall be tornH1497 awayH1497 from you, and will not be restoredH7725 to you; your sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3233Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 to anotherH312 peopleH5971, while your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on and yearnH3616 for them continuallyH3605H3117; but thereH369 will be nothingH369 34you can doH3027. 3335A peopleH5971 whomH834 you do not knowH3045 shall eatH398 up the produceH6529 of your groundH127 and allH3605 your laborsH3018, and you will neverH7534 be anythingH7534 but oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 continuallyH3605H3117. 34You shall be drivenH7696 madH7696 by the sightH4758 of 36whatH834 you seeH7200. 3537The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you on the kneesH1290 and legsH7785 with soreH7451 boilsH7822, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of your footH7272 to the crownH6936 of your headH6936.
