Deuteronomy 28:13-44

13And the LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 thee the headH7218, and notH3808 the tailH2180; and thou shalt be aboveH4605 onlyH7535, and thou shalt notH3808 be beneathH4295; ifH3588 thou shalt hearken unto the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to observeH8104 and to doH6213 them;

14and shalt notH3808 turnH5493 asideH5493 from anyH3605 of the wordsH1697 whichH834 I commandH6680 youH834 this dayH3117, to the rightH3225 handH3225, or to the leftH8040, to goH5493 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them.

15But it shall comeH935 to passH935, ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 hearken unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 allH3605 his commandmentsH4687 and his statutesH2708 whichH834 I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117; that allH3605 theseH428 cursesH7045 shall comeH935 uponH5921 thee, and overtakeH5381 thee.

16CursedH779 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and cursedH779 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704.

17CursedH779 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy kneadingtrough.

18CursedH779 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy bodyH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, the increaseH7698 of thy kine, and the youngH6251 of thy flockH6629.

19CursedH779 shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursedH779 shalt thou be when thou goest outH3318.

20The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 uponH3027 thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebukeH4045, in allH3605 that thou puttest thine handH3027 unto for to doH6213, untilH5704 thou be destroyedH8045, and untilH5704 thou perishH6 quicklyH4118; becauseH834 of the evilH7455 of thy doingsH4611, wherebyH834 thou hast forsaken meH7971.

21The LORDH3068 shall makeH3615 the pestilenceH1698 cleave unto thee, untilH5704 he have consumedH3615 thee from offH5921 the landH127, whither thou goest in to possessH3423 it.

22The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with consumptionH7829, and with feverH6920, and with inflammationH1816, and with fieryH2746 heatH2746, and with the swordH2719, and with blasting, and with mildewH3420; and they shall pursueH7291 thee untilH5704 thou perishH6.

23And thy heavenH8064 that is over thy headH7218 shall be brassH5178, and the earthH776 that is underH8478 thee shall be ironH1270.

24The LORDH3068 shall makeH5414 the rainH4306 of thy landH776 powderH80 and dustH6083: from heavenH8064 shall it comeH3381 downH3381 uponH5921 thee, untilH5704 thou be destroyedH8045.

25The LORDH3068 shall causeH5414 thee to be smitten beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341: thou shalt goH3318 outH3318 one wayH1870 againstH413 them, and shalt fleeH5127 sevenH7651 waysH1870 beforeH6440 them: and thou shalt be tossed to and fro among allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776.

26And thy carcase shall be meat unto allH3605 fowls of the air, and unto the beastsH929 of the earthH776, and there shall be noneH369 to fray them awayH3605.

27The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with the boilH7822 of EgyptH4714, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, whereof thou canst notH3808 be healedH7495.

28The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with madnessH7697, and with blindnessH5788, and with astonishment of heartH3824:

29and thou shalt gropeH4959 at noonday, as the blindH5787 gropeth in darknessH653, and thou shalt notH3808 prosperH6743 in thy waysH1870: and thou shalt be onlyH389 oppressedH6231 and spoiled alway, and there shall be noneH369 to saveH3467 thee.

30Thou shalt betrothH781 a wifeH802, and anotherH312 manH376 shall lie with herH802: thou shalt buildH1129 an houseH1004, and thou shalt notH3808 dwellH3427 therein: thou shalt plantH5193 a vineyardH3754, and shalt notH3808 use the fruit thereof.

31Thine oxH7794 shall be slain beforeH6440 thine eyesH5869, and thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 thereof: thine ass shall be violently takenH1497 awayH7725 from beforeH6440 thy faceH6440, and shall notH3808 be restoredH7725 to thee: thy sheepH6629 shall be givenH5414 unto thine enemiesH341, and thou shalt have noneH369 to saveH3467 thee.

32Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall be givenH5414 unto anotherH312 peopleH5971, and thine eyesH5869 shall lookH7200, and fail with longing for them allH3605 the dayH3117: and there shall be nought in the powerH3027 of thine handH3027.

33The fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, and allH3605 thy labours, shall a nationH5971 whichH834 thou knowest notH3808 eatH398 upH398; and thou shalt be onlyH7535 oppressedH6231 and crushedH7533 alway:

34soH1961 that thou shalt be madH7696 for the sightH5869 of thine eyesH5869 whichH834 thou shalt seeH7200.

35The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee in the kneesH1290, and in the legsH7272, with a sore boilH7822, whereof thou canst notH3808 be healedH7495, from the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 unto the crownH6936 of thy headH6936.

36The LORDH3068 shall bringH3045 thee, and thy kingH4428 whichH834 thou shalt setH6965 over thee, unto a nationH1471 whichH834 thou hast notH3808 knownH3045, thou norH3808 thy fathersH1; and there shalt thou serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, woodH6086 and stoneH68.

37And thou shalt becomeH1961 an astonishment, a proverbH4912, and a bywordH4912, among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 whither the LORDH3068 shall lead thee awayH3605.

38Thou shalt carryH3318 muchH7227 seedH2233 outH3318 intoH3318 the fieldH7704, and shalt gatherH622 littleH4592 in; for the locustH697 shall consumeH2628 it.

39Thou shalt plantH5193 vineyardsH3754 and dress them, but thou shalt neitherH3808 drinkH8354 of the wineH3196, norH3808 gatherH103 the grapes; for the worm shall eatH398 them.

40Thou shalt have oliveH2132 treesH2132 throughoutH3605 allH3605 thy bordersH1366, but thou shalt notH3808 anointH5480 thyself with the oilH8081: for thine oliveH2132 shall cast itsH3605 fruitH3605.

41Thou shalt begetH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, but they shall notH3808 be thine; for they shall goH1961 intoH1961 captivityH7628.

42AllH3605 thy treesH6086 and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127 shall the locust possessH3423.

43The strangerH1616 that is in the midstH7130 of thee shall mountH5927 upH5927 aboveH5921 thee higherH4605 and higherH4605; and thou shalt comeH5927 downH3381 lowerH4295 and lowerH4295.

44He shall lendH3867 to thee, and thou shalt notH3808 lendH3867 to him: he shall be the headH7218, and thou shalt be the tailH2180.
