And it shall come to pass, if thou shalthearkendiligently unto thevoice of theLORD thyGod, toobserve and todo all hiscommandments which Icommand thee thisday, that theLORD thyGod willset thee onhigh above allnations of the earth:
2 And all theseblessings shallcome on thee, andovertake thee, if thou shalthearken unto thevoice of theLORD thy God.
3Blessed shalt thou be in thecity, andblessed shalt thou be in the field.
4Blessed shall be thefruit of thybody, and thefruit of thyground, and thefruit of thycattle, theincrease of thykine, and theflocks of thy sheep.
5Blessed shall be thybasket and thy store.
6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comestin, andblessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7 TheLORD shallcause thineenemies that riseup against thee to besmitten before thyface: they shall comeout against theeoneway, andfleebefore theeseven ways.
8 TheLORD shallcommand theblessing upon thee in thystorehouses, and in all that thousettest thinehand unto; and he shallbless thee in theland which theLORD thyGod giveth thee.
9 TheLORD shallestablish thee anholypeople unto himself, as he hathsworn unto thee, if thou shaltkeep thecommandments of theLORD thyGod, andwalk in his ways.
10 And allpeople of theearth shallsee that thou artcalled by thename of theLORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And theLORD shall make theeplenteous ingoods, in thefruit of thybody, and in thefruit of thycattle, and in thefruit of thyground, in theland which theLORDsware unto thyfathers to give thee.
12 TheLORD shallopen unto thee hisgoodtreasure, theheaven togive therain unto thyland in hisseason, and tobless all thework of thinehand: and thou shaltlend untomanynations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13 And theLORD shallmake thee thehead, and not thetail; and thou shalt be aboveonly, and thou shalt not bebeneath; if that thouhearken unto thecommandments of theLORD thyGod, which Icommand thee thisday, toobserve and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not goaside from any of thewords which Icommand thee thisday, to the righthand, or to theleft, togoafterothergods to serve them.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt nothearken unto thevoice of theLORD thyGod, toobserve todo all hiscommandments and hisstatutes which Icommand thee thisday; that all thesecurses shallcome upon thee, and overtake thee:
16Cursed shalt thou be in thecity, andcursed shalt thou be in the field.
17Cursed shall be thybasket and thy store.
18Cursed shall be thefruit of thybody, and thefruit of thyland, theincrease of thykine, and theflocks of thy sheep.
19Cursed shalt thou be when thou comestin, andcursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 TheLORD shallsend upon theecursing,vexation, andrebuke, in all that thousettest thinehand unto for todo, until thou bedestroyed, and until thouperishquickly;because of thewickedness of thydoings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21 TheLORD shall make thepestilencecleave unto thee, until he haveconsumed thee from off theland, whither thougoest to possess it.
22 TheLORD shallsmite thee with aconsumption, and with afever, and with aninflammation, and with an extremeburning, and with thesword, and withblasting, and withmildew; and they shallpursue thee until thou perish.
23 And thyheaven that is over thyhead shall bebrass, and theearth that is under thee shall be iron.
24 TheLORD shallmake therain of thylandpowder anddust: fromheaven shall it comedown upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
25 TheLORD shallcause thee to besmittenbefore thineenemies: thou shalt gooutoneway against them, andfleesevenwaysbefore them: and shalt beremoved into all thekingdoms of the earth.
26 And thycarcase shall bemeat unto allfowls of theair, and unto thebeasts of theearth, and no man shall fray them away.
27 TheLORD willsmite thee with thebotch ofEgypt, and with theemerods, and with thescab, and with theitch, whereof thoucanst not be healed.
28 TheLORD shallsmite thee withmadness, andblindness, andastonishment of heart:
29 And thou shaltgrope atnoonday, as theblindgropeth indarkness, and thou shalt notprosper in thyways: and thou shalt be onlyoppressed andspoiledevermore, and no man shall save thee.
30 Thou shaltbetroth awife, andanotherman shalllie with her: thou shaltbuild anhouse, and thou shalt notdwell therein: thou shaltplant avineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31 Thineox shall beslain before thineeyes, and thou shalt noteat thereof: thineass shall be violently takenaway from before thyface, and shall not berestored to thee: thysheep shall begiven unto thineenemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32 Thysons and thydaughters shall begiven untoanotherpeople, and thineeyes shalllook, andfail with longing for them all theday long: and there shall be nomight in thine hand.
33 Thefruit of thyland, and all thylabours, shall anation which thouknowest not eatup; and thou shalt be onlyoppressed andcrushed alway:
34 So that thou shalt bemad for thesight of thineeyes which thou shalt see.
35 TheLORD shallsmite thee in theknees, and in thelegs, with asorebotch thatcannot behealed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
38Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
45Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
46And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
47Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
48Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the 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 have destroyed thee.
49The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
50A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:
51And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
52And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
53And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
54So that the man that 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 children which he shall leave:
55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
56The tender and delicate woman among you, which 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 daughter,
57And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
58If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
59Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.
60Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.
61Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
62And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
63And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
64And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
65And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
66And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
67In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
68And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
