Deuteronomy 28:15-24

15“But if you ignore the Lord your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force:

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

17Your basket and your mixing bowl will be cursed.

18Your children will be cursed, as well as the produce of your soil, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.

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

20“The Lord will send on you a curse, confusing you and opposing you in everything you undertake until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the evil of your deeds, in that you have forsaken me.

21The Lord will plague you with deadly diseases until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.

22He will afflict you with weakness, fever, inflammation, infection, sword, blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.

23The sky above your heads will be bronze and the earth beneath you iron.

24The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; it will come down on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
