Deuteronomy 28:15-24

15“But if you refuse to listen to the Lord your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overwhelm you:

16Your towns and your fields will be cursed.

17Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be cursed.

18Your children and your crops will be cursed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be cursed.

19Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be cursed.

20“The Lord himself will send on you curses, confusion, and frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely destroyed for doing evil and abandoning me.

21The Lord will afflict you with diseases until none of you are left in the land you are about to enter and occupy.

22The Lord will strike you with wasting diseases, fever, and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, and with blight and mildew. These disasters will pursue you until you die.

23The skies above will be as unyielding as bronze, and the earth beneath will be as hard as iron.

24The Lord will change the rain that falls on your land into powder, and dust will pour down from the sky until you are destroyed.
