15“2But it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, ifH518 you do not 3obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to beH8104 carefulH8104 to 4followH6213 allH3605 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, that allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 will comeH935 upon you and overtakeH5381 you:

16“5CursedH779 will you be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 will you be in the 6countryH7704.

17“7CursedH779 will be your basketH2935 and your kneadingH4863 bowlH4863.

19“11CursedH779 will you be when you comeH935 inH935, and cursedH779 will you be when you goH3318 outH3318.

20“12The LordH3068 will sendH7971 against you cursesH3994, panicH4103, and 13rebukeH4045, in 14everythingH3605 you undertakeH3027H4916 to doH6213, untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045 and untilH5704 15you perishH6 quicklyH4118, onH4480H6440 accountH4480H6440 ofH4480H6440 the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611, becauseH834 you have abandonedH5800 Me. 2116The LordH3068 will make the plagueH1698 clingH1692 to you untilH5704 He has eliminatedH3615 you from the landH127 whereH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it. 2217The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with consumptionH7829, inflammationH6920, feverH1816, feverishH2746 heatH2746, and with 18the swordH2719, 19with blightH7711, and with mildewH3420, and they will pursueH7291 you untilH5704 20you perishH6. 2321The heavenH8064 whichH834 is overH5921 your headH7218 shall be bronzeH5178, and the earthH776 whichH834 is underH8478 you, ironH1270. 2422The LordH3068 will makeH5414 the rainH4306 of your landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083; from heavenH8064 it shall comeH3381 downH3381 on you untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045.

25“23The LordH3068 will causeH5414 you to be defeatedH5062 byH6440 your enemiesH340; you will goH3318 outH3318 oneH259 wayH1870 againstH413 them, but you will fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 from their presenceH6440, and you will 24be an example of terrorH2113 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 2625Your deadH5038 bodiesH5038 will 26serve as foodH3978 for allH3605 birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and for the animalsH929 of the earthH776, and thereH369 willH369 beH369 noH369 oneH369 to frightenH2729 them away.

27“27The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with the boilsH7822 of EgyptH4714 and with 28tumorsH6076, the festeringH1618 rashH1618, and with scabiesH2775, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495. 28The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with insanityH7697, blindnessH5788, and with confusionH8541 of 29mindH3824; 29and you will be 30gropingH4959 aboutH4959 at noonH6672, justH3512 asH3512 a personH5787 who is blindH5787 gropesH4959 in the darknessH653, and you will not beH6743 successfulH6743 in your waysH1870; but you will onlyH389 be 31oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 allH3605 the timeH3117, with noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3032You will 33betrothH781 a womanH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will 34violateH7693 her; 35you will buildH1129 a houseH1004, but you will not liveH3427 in it; you will plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, but you will not makeH2490 useH2490 ofH2490 its fruit. 31Your oxH7794 will be slaughteredH2873 before your eyesH5869, but you will not eatH398 of it; your donkeyH2543 will be snatchedH1497 awayH1497 from you, and will not 36be restoredH7725 to you; your 37sheepH6629 will be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3238Your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 will be givenH5414 to anotherH312 peopleH5971, while your eyesH5869 lookH7200 on and longH3616 for them constantlyH3605H3117; but thereH369 willH369 beH369 nothingH369 39you can doH3027. 3340A peopleH5971 whomH834 you do not knowH3045 will eatH398 the produceH6529 of your groundH127 and everyH3605 productH3018 ofH3018 your laborH3018, and you will neverH7534 be anythingH7534 butH7534 oppressedH6231 and mistreatedH7533 continuallyH3605H3117. 34You will also be drivenH7696 insaneH7696 by the sightH4758 of 41whatH834 you seeH7200. 3542The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you on the kneesH1290 and thighsH7785 with severeH7451 boilsH7822 from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495, and strike you from the soleH3709 of your footH7272 to the topH6936 ofH6936 your headH6936. 3643The LordH3068 will bringH1980 you and your kingH4428, whomH834 you appointH6965 overH5921 you, to a nationH1471 that neitherH3808 you norH3808 your fathersH1 have knownH3045, and thereH8033 you shall serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, made of 44woodH6086 and stoneH68. 37And 45you will becomeH1961 an object of horrorH8047, a songH4912 ofH4912 mockeryH4912, and an objectH8148 ofH8148 tauntingH8148 among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you.

38“46You will bringH3318 outH3318 a greatH7227 amountH7227 of seedH2233 to the fieldH7704, but you will gatherH622 inH622 littleH4592, becauseH3588 47the locustH697 will devourH2628 it. 3948You will plantH5193 and cultivateH5647 vineyardsH3754, but you will neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196 norH3808 bringH103 inH103 the harvest, becauseH3588 the wormH8439 will eatH398 it. 4049You will haveH1961 oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 your territoryH1366 but you will not anointH5480 yourself with the oilH8081, becauseH3588 your olivesH2132 will dropH5394 offH5394 prematurely. 4150You will fatherH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 but they will not remainH1961 yours, becauseH3588 they will goH1980 into captivityH7628. 4251The cricketH6767 will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of allH3605 your treesH6086 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127. 4352The strangerH1616 whoH834 is amongH7130 you will riseH5927 aboveH5921 you higherH4605 and higherH4605, and you will goH3381 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295. 4453He will lendH3867 to you, but you will not lendH3867 to him; 54he will be the headH7218, and you will be the tailH2180.

45“So allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 shall comeH935 upon you and pursueH7291 you and overtakeH5381 you 55untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045, becauseH3588 you would not 56obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430 by keepingH8104 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 He commandedH6680 you. 46And they will becomeH1961 57a signH226 and a wonderH4159 58against you and your 59descendantsH2233 foreverH5704H5769.

47“60SinceH8478H834 you did not serveH5647 the LordH3068 your GodH430 with joyH8057 and a cheerfulH2898 heartH3824, in gratitude for the abundanceH7230 of allH3605 things, 48you will serveH5647 your enemiesH340 whomH834 the LordH3068 will sendH7971 against you, 61in hungerH7458, thirstH6772, nakednessH5903, and devoidH2640 of allH3605 things; and He 62will putH5414 an ironH1270 yokeH5923 on your neckH6677 untilH5704 He has destroyedH8045 you.

49“63The LordH3068 will bringH5375 a nationH1471 againstH5921 you from farH7350 awayH7350, from the endH7097 of the earthH776, 64as the eagleH5404 swoopsH1675 downH1675; a nationH1471 whoseH834 languageH3956 you will not understandH8085, 50a nationH1471 65with a defiantH5794 attitudeH6440, whoH834 will 66haveH5375 noH3808 respectH6440 for the oldH2205, norH3808 showH2603 favorH2603 to the youngH5288. 51Furthermore, it will eatH398 the 67offspringH6529 of your herdH929 and the produceH6529 of your groundH127 untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045; a nation that will leaveH7604 you noH3808 grainH1715, newH8492 wineH8492, or oilH3323, norH3808 the newbornH7698 of your cattleH504 or the youngH6251 of your flockH6629, untilH5704 they have eliminatedH6 you. 5268And it will besiegeH6887 you in allH3605 your 69townsH8179 untilH5704 your highH1364 and fortifiedH1219 wallsH2346 in whichH834 you trustedH982 comeH3381 downH3381 throughoutH3605 your landH776, and it will besiegeH6887 you in allH3605 your 70townsH8179 throughoutH3605 your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you. 5371Then you will eatH398 the 72offspringH6529 of your own bodyH990, the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121 and of your daughtersH1323 whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you, during the siegeH4692 and the hardshipH4689 by whichH834 your enemyH340 will 73oppressH6693 you. 54The manH376 who is 74refinedH7390 and veryH3966 delicateH6028 among you 75will be hostileH7489 toward his brotherH251, toward the wifeH802 76he cherishesH2436, and toward the restH3499 of his childrenH1121 whoH834 are leftH3498, 55soH4480 thatH4480 he will notH4480 giveH5414 even oneH259 of them anyH4480 of the fleshH1320 of his childrenH1121 whichH834 he will eatH398, sinceH4480 he has nothingH1097H3605 else leftH7604, during the siegeH4692 and the hardshipH4689 by whichH834 your enemyH340 will 77oppressH6693 you in allH3605 your 78townsH8179. 5679The 80refinedH7390 and delicateH6028 womanH6028 among you, whoH834 would not ventureH5254 to setH3322 the soleH3709 of her footH7272 on the groundH776 becauseH4480 of her delicatenessH6026 and tendernessH7391, 81will be hostileH7489 toward the husbandH376 82she cherishesH2436 and toward her sonH1121 and daughterH1323, 57and toward her afterbirthH7988 that comesH3318 from betweenH996 her 83legsH7272, and toward her childrenH1121 to whomH834 she givesH3205 birthH3205, becauseH3588 84she will eatH398 them secretlyH5643 for lackH2640 of anythingH3605 else, during the siegeH4692 and the hardshipH4689 with whichH834 your enemyH340 will 85oppressH6693 you in your 86townsH8179.

58“IfH518 you areH8104 not carefulH8104 to 87followH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 LawH8451 that are writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612, to 8889fearH3372 thisH2088 honoredH3513 and awesomeH3372 90nameH8034, 91the LordH3068 your GodH430, 59then the LordH3068 will bringH6381 extraordinaryH6381 plaguesH4347 on you and 92your descendantsH2233, 93severeH1419 and lastingH539 plaguesH4347, and miserableH7451 and chronicH539 sicknessesH2483. 6094And He will bringH7725 backH7725 on you everyH3605 diseaseH4064 of EgyptH4714 of whichH834 you were afraidH3025, and they will clingH1692 to you. 61AlsoH1571 everyH3605 sicknessH2483 and everyH3605 plagueH4347, whichH834 are not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of thisH2088 LawH8451, the LordH3068 will bringH5927 on you 95untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045. 62Then you will be leftH7604 fewH4592 in 96numberH4962, 97whereasH8478H834 you were as numerousH7230 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, becauseH3588 you did not 98obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430. 63And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 99rejoicedH7797 overH5921 you to beH3190 goodH3190 to you, and makeH7235 you numerousH7235, soH3651 will the LordH3068 100rejoiceH7797 overH5921 you to wipeH6 you outH6 and destroyH8045 you; and you will be 101tornH5255 awayH5255 from the landH127 whichH834H8033 you are enteringH935 to possessH3423. 64Furthermore, the LordH3068 will 102scatterH6327 you among allH3605 the peoplesH5971, from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to 103the other; and thereH8033 you will 104serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, made of woodH6086 and stoneH68, whichH834 you and your fathersH1 have not knownH3045. 65105Among thoseH1992 nationsH1471 you will findH7280 noH3808 peaceH7280, and there will be noH3808 restingH4494 placeH4494 for the soleH3709 of your footH7272; but thereH8033 106the LordH3068 will giveH5414 you a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and despairH1671 of soulH5315. 66So your livesH2425 will be 107hangingH8511 in doubt before you; and you will be terrifiedH6342 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and haveH539 noH3808 assuranceH539 of your lifeH2425. 67108In the morningH1242 you will sayH559, ‘IfH4310H5414 onlyH4310H5414 it were eveningH6153!’ And at eveningH6153 you will sayH559, ‘IfH4310H5414 onlyH4310H5414 it were morningH1242!’ becauseH4480 of the terrorH6343 of your heartH3824 whichH834 you fearH6342, and the sightH4758 of your eyesH5869 whichH834 you will seeH7200. 68And the LordH3068 will bringH7725 you backH7725 to EgyptH4714 in shipsH591, by the wayH1870 about whichH834 I saidH559 to you, ‘You will neverH3808 seeH7200 it againH3254!’ And thereH8033 you will offerH4376 yourselves forH4376 saleH4376 to your enemiesH340 as maleH5650 and femaleH8198 slavesH8198H5650, but thereH369 willH369 beH369 noH369 buyerH7069.”
