* And it shall come to pass , if thou shall hearken diligently to the voice of LORD thy God , to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day , that LORD thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the ear * and all these blessings shall come upon thee , and overtake thee , if thou shall hearken to the voice of LORD thy God : * Blessed shall thou be in the city , and blessed shall thou be in the field . * Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body , and the fruit of thy ground , and the fruit of thy beasts , the increase of thy cattle , and the young of thy flock . * Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough . * Blessed shall thou be when thou come in , and blessed shall thou be when thou go out . * LORD will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee . They shall come out against thee one way , and shall flee before thee seven ways . * LORD will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns , and in all that thou put thy hand to . And he will bless thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee . * LORD will establish thee for a holy people to himself , as he has sworn to thee , if thou shall keep the commandments of LORD thy God , and walk in his ways . * And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of LORD , and they shall be afraid of thee . * And LORD will make thee plenteous for good , in the fruit of thy body , and in the fruit of thy cattle , and in the fruit of thy ground , in the land which LORD swore to thy fathers to give thee . * LORD will open to thee his good treasure the heavens , to give the rain of thy land in its season , and to bless all the work of thy hand . And thou shall lend to many nations , and thou shall not borrow . * And LORD will make thee the head , and not the tail . And thou shall only be above , and thou shall not be beneath , if thou shall hearken to the commandments of LORD thy God , which I command thee this day , to observe and to do , * and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day , to the right hand , or to the left , to go after other gods to serve them . * But it shall come to pass , if thou will not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God , to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day , that all these curses shall come upon thee , and overtake thee : * Cursed shall thou be in the city , and cursed shall thou be in the field . * Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough . * Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body , and the fruit of thy ground , the increase of thy cattle , and the young of thy flock . * Cursed shall thou be when thou come in , and cursed shall thou be when thou go out . * LORD will send upon thee cursing , discomfiture , and rebuke , in all that thou put thy hand to do , until thou be destroyed , and until thou perish quickly , because of the evil of thy doings , by which thou have forsaken me . * LORD will make the pestilence cling to thee , until he has consumed thee from off the land , where thou go in to possess it . * LORD will smite thee with consumption , and with fever , and with inflammation , and with fiery heat , and with the sword , and with blight , and with mildew . And they shall pursue thee until thou perish . * And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass , and the earth that is under thee shall be iron . * LORD will make the rain of thy land powder and dust . From the sky it shall come down upon thee , until thou be destroyed . * LORD will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies . Thou shall go out one way against them , and shall flee seven ways before them . And thou shall be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth . * And thy dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky , and to the beasts of the earth , and there shall be none to frighten them away . * LORD will smite thee with the boil of Egypt , and with the emerods , and with the scurvy , and with the itch , of which thou cannot be healed . * LORD will smite thee with madness , and with blindness , and with confusion of mind , * and thou shall grope at noonday , as the blind man gropes in darkness . And thou shall not prosper in thy ways . And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always , and there shall be none to save thee . * Thou shall betroth a wife , and another man shall lay with her . Thou shall build a house , and thou shall not dwell in it . Thou shall plant a vineyard , and shall not use the fruit of it . * Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes , and thou shall not eat of it . Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face , and shall not be restored to thee . Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies , and thou shall ha * Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people . And thine eyes shall look , and fail with longing for them all the day , and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand . * The fruit of thy ground , and all thy labors , shall a nation eat up which thou know not . And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always , * so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see . * LORD will smite thee in the knees , and in the legs , with a sore boil , of which thou cannot be healed , from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head . * LORD will bring thee , and thy king whom thou shall set over thee , to a nation that thou have not known , thou nor thy fathers . And there thou shall serve other gods , wood and stone . * And thou shall become an astonishment , a proverb , and a byword , among all the peoples where LORD shall lead thee away . * Thou shall carry much seed out into the field , and shall gather little in , for the locust shall consume it . * Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them , but thou shall neither drink of the wine , nor gather , for the worm shall eat them . * Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders , but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil , for thine olive shall drop off . * Thou shall beget sons and daughters , but they shall not be thine , for they shall go into captivity . * All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess . * The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher , and thou shall come down lower and lower . * He shall lend to thee , and thou shall not lend to him . He shall be the head , and thou shall be the tail . * And all these curses shall come upon thee , and shall pursue thee , and overtake thee , till thou be destroyed , because thou hearkened not to the voice of LORD thy God , to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee * and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder , and upon thy seed forever . * Because thou served not LORD thy God with joyfulness , and with gladness of heart , by reason of the abundance of all things , * therefore thou shall serve thine enemies that LORD shall send against thee , in hunger , and in thirst , and in nakedness , and in want of all things . And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck , until he has destroyed thee . * LORD will bring a nation against thee from far , from the end of the earth , as the eagle flies , a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand , * a nation of fierce countenance , that shall not regard the person of the old , nor show favor to the young , * and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle , and the fruit of thy ground , until thou be destroyed , that also shall not leave thee grain , new wine , or oil , the increase of thy cattle , or the young of thy flock , until they have caused thee * And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates , until thy high and fortified walls come down , in which thou trusted , throughout all thy land . And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land , which LORD thy God ha * And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body , the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters , whom LORD thy God has given thee , in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee . * The man who is tender among you , and very delicate , his eye shall be evil toward his brother , and toward the wife of his bosom , and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining , * so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat , because he has nothing left to him , in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates . * The tender and delicate woman among you , who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness , her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom , and toward her son , and toward her * and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet , and toward her sons whom she shall bear , for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things , in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress t * If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book , that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name , LORD thy GOD , * then LORD will make thy calamities extraordinary , and the calamities of thy seed , even great calamities , and of long continuance , and severe sicknesses , and of long continuance . * And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt , which thou were afraid of , and they shall cling to thee . * Also every sickness , and every calamity , which is not written in the book of this law , them LORD will bring upon thee , until thou be destroyed . * And ye shall be left few in number , whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude , because thou did not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God . * And it shall come to pass , that , as LORD rejoiced over you to do you good , and to multiply you , so LORD will rejoice over you to cause you to perish , and to destroy you . And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to * And LORD will scatter thee among all peoples , from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth . And there thou shall serve other gods , which thou have not known , thou nor thy fathers , even wood and stone . * And among these nations thou shall find no ease , and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot , but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart , and failing of eyes , and pining of soul . * And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee , and thou shall fear night and day , and shall have no assurance of thy life . * In the morning thou shall say , Would it were evening ! and at evening thou shall say , Would it were morning ! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear , and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see . * And LORD will bring thee into Egypt again with ships , by the way of which I said to thee , Thou shall see it no more again . And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen , and no man shall buy you .
