| 
1  | And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently
        unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
        his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD
        thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  | 
| 
2 | And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,
        if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.  | 
| 
3 | Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be
        in the field.  | 
| 
4 | Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
        ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine,
        and the flocks of thy sheep.  | 
| 
5 | Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.  | 
| 
6 | Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt
        thou be when thou goest out.  | 
| 
7 | The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee
        to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
        thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.  | 
| 
8 | The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
        storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and
        he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
        thee.  | 
| 
9 | The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as
        he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments
        of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.  | 
| 
10 | And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by
        the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.  | 
| 
11 | And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit
        of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit
        of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy
        fathers to give thee.  | 
| 
12 | The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to
        give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all
        the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
        and thou shalt not borrow.  | 
| 
13 | And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and
        thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if
        that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God,
        which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:  | 
| 
14 | And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I
        command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to
        go after other gods to serve them.  | 
| 
15 | But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the
        voice of the 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:  | 
| 
16 | Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in
        the field.  | 
| 
17 | Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.  | 
| 
18 | Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
        land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.  | 
| 
19 | Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt
        thou be when thou goest out.  | 
| 
20 | The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke,
        in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou
        be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the
        wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.  | 
| 
21 | The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he
        have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to
        possess it.  | 
| 
22 | The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a
        fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning,
        and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and
        they shall pursue thee until thou perish.  | 
| 
23 | And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the
        earth that is under thee shall be iron.  | 
| 
24 | The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from
        heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.  | 
| 
25 | The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies:
        thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways
        before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the
        earth.  | 
| 
26 | And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and
        unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.  | 
| 
27 | The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the
        emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou
        canst not be healed.  | 
| 
28 | The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and
        astonishment of heart:  | 
| 
29 | And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in
        darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou
        shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall
        save thee.  | 
| 
30 | Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her:
        thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein:
        thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes
        thereof.  | 
| 
31 | Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not
        eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from
        before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep
        shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to
        rescue them.  | 
| 
32 | Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people,
        and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all
        the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.  | 
| 
33 | The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation
        which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only
        oppressed and crushed alway:  | 
| 
34 | So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which
        thou shalt see.  | 
| 
35 | The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with
        a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot
        unto the top of thy head.  | 
| 
36 | The 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.  | 
| 
37 | And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a
        byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.  | 
| 
38 | Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt
        gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.  | 
| 
39 | Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither
        drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall
        eat them.  | 
| 
40 | Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but
        thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive
        shall cast his fruit.  | 
| 
41 | Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy
        them; for they shall go into captivity.  | 
| 
42 | All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.  | 
| 
43 | The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very
        high; and thou shalt come down very low.  | 
| 
44 | He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he
        shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.  | 
| 
45 | Moreover 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:  | 
| 
46 | And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and
        upon thy seed for ever.  | 
| 
47 | Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness,
        and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;  | 
| 
48 | Therefore 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.  | 
| 
49 | The 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;  | 
| 
50 | A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the
        person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:  | 
| 
51 | And 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.  | 
| 
52 | And 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.  | 
| 
53 | And 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:  | 
| 
54 | So 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:  | 
| 
55 | So 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.  | 
| 
56 | The 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,  | 
| 
57 | And 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.  | 
| 
58 | If 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;  | 
| 
59 | Then 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.  | 
| 
60 | Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt,
        which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.  | 
| 
61 | Also 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.  | 
| 
62 | And 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.  | 
| 
63 | And 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.  | 
| 
64 | And 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.  | 
| 
65 | And 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:  | 
| 
66 | And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt
        fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:  | 
| 
67 | In 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.  | 
| 
68 | And 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.  |
