15“1But it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, ifH518 you do not 2obeyH8085H6963 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to beH8104 carefulH8104 to 3followH6213 allH3605 His commandmentsH4687 and His statutesH2708 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, that allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 will comeH935 upon you and overtakeH5381 you:
16“4CursedH779 will you be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 will you be in the 5countryH7704.
17“6CursedH779 will be your basketH2935 and your kneadingH4863 bowlH4863.
18“7CursedH779 will be the 8childrenH6529 of your wombH990, the 9produceH6529 of your groundH127, the newbornH7698 of your herdH504, and the offspringH6251 of your flockH6629.
19“10CursedH779 will you be when you comeH935 inH935, and cursedH779 will you be when you goH3318 outH3318.
20“11The LordH3068 will sendH7971 against you cursesH3994, panicH4103, and 12rebukeH4045, in 13everythingH3605 you undertakeH3027H4916 to doH6213, untilH5704 you are destroyedH8045 and untilH5704 14you perishH6 quicklyH4118, onH4480H6440 accountH4480H6440 ofH4480H6440 the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611, becauseH834 you have abandonedH5800 Me. 2115The 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. 2216The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with consumptionH7829, inflammationH6920, feverH1816, feverishH2746 heatH2746, and with 17the swordH2719, 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 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 23be an example of terrorH2113 to allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776. 2624Your deadH5038 bodiesH5038 will 25serve 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“26The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with the boilsH7822 of EgyptH4714 and with 27tumorsH6076, the festeringH1618 rashH1618, and with scabiesH2775, from whichH834 you cannotH3201H3808 be healedH7495. 28The LordH3068 will strikeH5221 you with insanityH7697, blindnessH5788, and with confusionH8541 of 28mindH3824; 29and you will be 29gropingH4959 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 30oppressedH6231 and robbedH1497 allH3605 the timeH3117, with noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3031You will 32betrothH781 a womanH802, but anotherH312 manH376 will 33violateH7693 her; 34you 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 35be restoredH7725 to you; your 36sheepH6629 will be givenH5414 to your enemiesH340, and you will haveH369 noH369 oneH369 to saveH3467 you. 3237Your 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 38you can doH3027. 3339A 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 40whatH834 you seeH7200. 3541The 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.
