Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου, φυλάσσειν καὶ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ἃς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον, καὶ δώσει σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ὑπεράνω ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ
ἔθην τῆς γῆς·

καὶ ἥξουσιν ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι αἱ εὐλογίαι αὗται καὶ εὑρήσουσίν σε, ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσης τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου.

εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν πόλει, καὶ εὑλογημένος σὺ ἐν ἀγρῷ·

εὐλογημένα τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου, τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου καὶ τὰ ποίμνια ¹² τῶν προβάτων σου·

εὐλογημέναι αἱ ἀποθῆκαί σου καὶ τὰ ἐνκαταλίμματά
σου.

εὐλογημένος σὺ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαί σε, καὶ
εὐλσγημένος σὺ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε.

παραδῷ Κύριος ὁ θεός
σου τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας σοι συντετριμμένους προσώπου σου· ὁδῷ μιᾷ ἐξελεύσονται πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἐν ἑπτὰ ὁδοῖς φεύξονται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.

ἀποστείλαι κύριος ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν
εὐλογίαν ἐν τοῖς ταμείοις σου, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα οὗ ὂν τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι.

ἀναστήσαι σε κύριος ἑαυτῷ λαὸν ἅγιον, ὃν τρόπον ὤμοσεν τοῖς
, πατράσιν σου, ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ πορευθῇς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ·

καὶ ὄψονταί σε
πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ὅτι τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου ἐπικέκληταί σοι, καὶ φοβηθήσονταί σε.

καὶ πληθυνεῖ σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς ἀγαθὰ ἐν
τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῆς κοιλίας σου καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς γενήμασιν τῆς γῆς σου καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐκγόνοις τῶν κτηνῶν σου, ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ὤμοσεν Κύριος τοῖς πατράσιν σου δοῦναί σοι.

ἀνοίξαι σοι κύριος τὸν θησαυρὸν
αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀγαθόν, τὸν οὐρανόν, δοῦναι τὸν ὑετὸν τῆ γῇ σου ἐπὶ καιροῦ, εὐλογῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου· καὶ δανιεῖς ἔθνεσιν πολλοῖς, σὺ δὲ οὐ δανιῇ.

καταστήσαι σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς κεφαλὴν καὶ
μὴ εἰς οὐράν, καὶ ἔσῃ τότε ἐπάνω καὶ οὐκ ἴσῃ ὑποκάτω, ἐὰν ἁ τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι φυλάσσειν·

οὐ παραβήσῃ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἐντολῶν ὧν ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί
σοι σήμερον δεξιὰ οὐδὲ ἀριστερά, πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω θεῶν ἑτέρων λατρεύειν αὐτοῖς.

Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ εἰσακούσῃς τῆς
φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου, φυλάσσεσθαι πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον, καὶ ἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι ἁ κατάραι αὗται καὶ καταλήμψονταί σε.

ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν πόλει,
καὶ ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν ἀγρῷ·

ἐπικατάρατοι αἱ ἀποθῆκαί σου καὶ τὰ
³
ἐγκαταλίμματά σου·

ἐπικατάρατα τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου καὶ τὰ ⁴ γενήματα τῆς γῆς σου, τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου καὶ τὰ ποίμνια
τῶν προβάτων σου·

ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαί σε,
καὶ ἐπικατάρατος σὺ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαί σε.

ἀποστείλαι κύριος ἐπὶ σὲ τὴν ἔνδειαν καὶ τὴν ἐκλιμίαν καὶ τὴν ἀνάλωσιν ἐμ πάντα οὗ ἀν’ ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου, ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ σε, καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε ἐν τάχει διὰ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐπιτηδεύματά σου, διότι
ἐνκατέλιπές με.

προσκολλήσαι κύριος εἰς σὲ τὸν θάνατον, ἕως ἀν’ ἐξαναλώσῃ σε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἣν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι
αὐτήν.

πατάξαι σε κύριος ἐν ἀπορίᾳ καὶ πυρετῷ καὶ ῥίγει καὶ ἐρεθισμῷ καὶ ἀνεμοφθορίᾳ καὶ τῇ ὤχρᾳ, καὶ καταδιώξονταί σε ἕως
ἃν ἀπολέσωσίν σε.

καὶ ἔσται σοι ὁ οὐρανὸς ὁ ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς σου
χαλκοῦς, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἡ ὑποκάτω σου σιδηρᾶ.

δῴη Κύριος ὁ θεός σου τὸν ὑετὸν τῇ γῆ σου κονιορτόν, καὶ χοῦς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβήσεται,
ἕως ἂν ἐκτρίψῃ σε, καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε ἐν τάχει.

δώῃ σε κύριος ἐπισκοπὴν ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν· ἐν ὁδῷ μιᾷ ἐξελεύσῃ πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ἑπτὰ ὁδοῖς φεύξῃ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ
ἔσῃ διασπορὰ ἐν πάσαις βασιλείοις τῆς γῆς.

καὶ ἔσονται οἱ νεκροὶ ὑμῶν κατάβρωμα τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς,
καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν.

πατάξαι σε κύριος ἕλκει Αἰγυπτίῳ εἰς τὴν ἕδραν καὶ ψώρᾳ ἀγρίᾳ καὶ κνήφῃ, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαί σε
ἰαθῆναι.

πατάξαι σε κύριος παραπληξίᾳ ἀορασίας καὶ ἑ
διανοίας·

καὶ ἔση ψηλαφῶν μεσημβρίας, ὡς εἴ τι τυφλὸς ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ οὐκ εὐοδώσει τὰς ὁδούς σου· καὶ ἔσῃ τότε ἀδικούμενος καὶ διαρπαζόμενος πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται
ὁ βοηθῶν.

γυναὶκα λήμψῃ, καὶ ἀνὴρ ἕτερος ἕξει αὐτήν. οἰκίαν οἰκοδομήσεις, καὶ οὐκ οἰκήσεις ἐν αὐτῇ· ἀμπελῶνα φυτεύσεις, καὶ
οὐ τρυγήσεις αὐτόν.

ὁ μόσχος σου ἐσφαγμένος ἐναντίον σου, καὶ ⁵⁶ οὐ φήῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ· ὁ ὄνος σου ἡρπασμένος ἀπὸ σοῦ, κοὶ οὐκ ἀποδοθήσεταί σοι· τὰ πρόβατά σου δεδομένα τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου,

καὶ
οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου βλέψονται σφακελίζοντες εἰς αὐτά· οὐκ ἰσχύσει σου ἡ χείρ.

τὰ ἐκφόρια τῆς γῆς σου καὶ πάντας τοὺς
πόνους σου φάγεται ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἐπίστασαι, καὶ ἔσῃ ἀδικούμενος καὶ τεθραυσμένος πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

καὶ ἔσῃ παράπληκτος διὰ
τὰ ὁράματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ἃ βλέψῃ.

πατάξαι σε κύριος ἐν
ἕλκει πονηρῷ ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κνήμας, ὥστε μὴ δύνασθαί σε ἰαθῆναι, ἀπὸ ἴχνους τῶν ποδῶν σου ἕως τῆς κορυφῆς σου.

ἀπαγάγοι
κύριός σε καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντάς σου οὓς ἐὰν καταστήσῃς ἐπὶ σεαυτὸν ἐπ’ ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἐπίστασαι σὺ καὶ οἱ πατέρες σου, καὶ λατρεύσεις ἐκεῖ θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις.

καὶ ἔσῃ ἐκεῖ ἐν
αἰνίγματι καὶ παραβολῇ καὶ διηγήματι ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς οὓς ἀπαγάγῃ σε κύριος ἐκεῖ.

σπέρμα πολὺ ἐξοίσεις εἰς τὸ πεδίον,
καὶ ὀλίγα εἰσοίσεις, ὅτι κατέδεται αὐτὰ ἡ ἀκρίς.

ἀμπελώνα φυτεύσεις
καὶ κατεργᾷ, καὶ οἶνον οὐ πίεσαι οὐδὲ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι καταφάγεται αὐτὰ ὁ σκώληξ.

ἐλαῖαι ἔσονταί σοι ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς
ὁρίοις σου, καὶ ἔλαιον οὐ χρίσῃ, ὅτι ἐκρυήσεται ἡ ἐλαία σου.

υἱοὺς
καὶ θυγατέρας γεννήσεις, καὶ οὐκ ἔσονται· ἀπελεύσονται γὰρ ἐν αἰχμαλωσία.

πάντα τὰ ξύλινά σου καὶ τὰ γενήματα τῆς γῆς σου
ἐξαναλώσει ἡ ἐρυσίβη.

ὁ προσήλυτος ὁ ἐν σοὶ ἀναβήσεται ἄνω
ἄνω, σὺ δὲ καταβήσῃ κάτω κάτω.

οὗτος δανιεῖ σοι, σὺ δὲ τούτῳ
οὐ δανιεῖς· οὗτος ἔσται κεφαλή, σὺ δὲ ἴσῃ οὐρά.

καὶ ἐλεύσονται
ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶσαι αἱ κατάραι αὗται καὶ καταδιώξονταί σε καὶ καταλήμψονταί, σε, ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ σε καὶ ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε· ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήκουσας τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου, φυλάξαι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο σοι.

καὶ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ
⁷
σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος,

ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ⁸ ἐλάτρευσας κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἀγαθῇ διανοίᾳ διὰ τὸ
πλῆθος πάντων.

καὶ καὶ λατρεύσεις τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου, οὓς ἐπαποστελεῖ κύριος ἐπὶ σέ, ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ἐν ἐκλείψει πάντων· καὶ ἐπιθήσει κλοιὸν σιδηροῦν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλόν σου, ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ σε.

ἐπάξει κύριος ἐπὶ σὲ ἔθνος μακρόθεν ἀπ’ ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς ὡσεὶ
ὅρμημα ἀετοῦ, ἔθνος ὃ οὐκ ἀκούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ,

ἔθνος ἀναιδὲς στις οὐ θαυμάσει πρόσωπον πρεσβύτου καὶ νέον οὐκ ἐλεήσαι.

καὶ κατέδεται τὰ ἔκγονα τῶν κτηνῶν σου καὶ τὰ γενήματα τῆς γῆς σου, ὥστε μὴ καταλιπεῖν σοι σῖτον, οἶνον, ἔλαιον, τὰ βουκόλια τῶν βοῶν σου καὶ τὰ ποίμνια τῶν προβάτων σου, ἕως ἂν ἀπολέσῃ σε

καὶ ἐκτρίψῃ σε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου, ἕως ἂν καθαιρεθῶσιν τὰ τείχη τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ τὰ ὀχυρά, ἐφ’ οἷς σὺ πέποιθας ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς, ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ σου· καὶ θλίψει σε ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου αἷς ἔδωκέν
σοι.

καὶ φάγῃ τὰ ἔκγονα τῆς κοιλίας σου, κρέα υἱῶν σου καὶ θυγατέρων σου ὅσα ἔδωκέν σοι, ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν τῇ
θλίψει σου ᾗ θλίψει σε ὁ ἐχθρός σου.

ἁπαλὸς ὁ ἐν σοὶ καὶ ὁ τρυφερὸς σφόδρα βασκανεῖ τῷ ὀφθαλμῷ τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα τὴν ἐν κόλπῳ καὶ τὰ καταλελιμμένα τέκνα ἃ ἂν καταλειφθῇ,

ὥστε δοῦναι ἑνὶ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν σαρκῶν τῶν τέκνων αὐτοῦ ὧν ἂν κατέσθῃ, διὰ τὸ μὴ καταλιφθῆναι αὐτῷ οὐδὲν ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν τῇ θλίψει σου ᾗ ἂν θλίψωσίν σε οἱ ἐχθροί
σου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσίν σου.

καὶ ἡ ἁπαλὴ ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ ἡ τρυφερά, ἧς οὐχὶ πεῖραν ἔλαβεν ὁ ποὺς αὐτῆς βαίνειν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς διὰ τὴν τρυφερότητα, βασκανεῖ τῷ δφθαλμῷ αὐτῆς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς ⁹¹⁰ τὸν ἐν κόλπῳ αὐτῆς καὶ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτῆς,

καὶ τὸ
χόριον αὐτῆς τό ἐξελθὸν διὰ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τέκνον ὃ ἂν τέκῃ· καταφάγεται γὰρ αὐτὰ διὰ τὴν ἔνδειαν πόντων κρυφῇ ἐν τῇ στενοχωρίᾳ σου καὶ ἐν τῆ θλίψει σου ᾖ θλίψει σε ὁ ἐχθρός σου ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου·

ἐὰν μὴ εἰσακούσῃς ποιεῖν πάντα τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ
νόμου τούτου τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ, φοβεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἔντιμον τὸ θαυμαστὸν τοῦτο, κύριον τὸν θεόν σου.

καὶ παραδοξάσει
Κύριος τὰς πληγάς σου καὶ τὰς πληγὰς τοῦ σπέρματός σου, πληγὰς μεγάλας καὶ θαυμαστάς, καὶ νόσους πονηρὰς καὶ πιστάς.

καὶ ἐπιστρέψει πᾶσαν τὴν ὀδύνην Αἰγύπτου τὴν πονηρὰν
ἣν διευλαβοῦ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, καὶ κολληθήσονται ἐν σοί.

καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν καὶ πᾶσαν πληγὴν τὴν μὴ γεγραμμένην ἐν
τῶ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου τούτου ἐπάξει Κύριος ἐπὶ σέ, ἕως ἂν ἐξολεθρεύσῃ σε.

καὶ καταλειφθήσεσθε ἐν ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖ, ἀνθ’ ὧν
ὅτι ἦτε ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήκουσας τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου.

καὶ ἔσται ὃν τρόπον
¹¹ εὐφράνθη ¶ Κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμῖν εὖ ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς, οὕτως εὐφρανθήσεται Κύριος ἐφ᾿ ὑμῖν ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς· καὶ ἐξαρθήσεσθε ἐν τάχει ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς εἰς ἢν εἰσπορεύῃ ἐκεῖ κληρονομεῖν αὐτήν.

καὶ διασπερεῖ
σε Κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀπ᾿ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, καὶ δουλεύσεις ἐκεῖ θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ξύλοις καὶ λίθοις, οὓς οὐκ ἠπίστω σὺ καὶ οἱ πατέρες σου.

ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν
τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐκείνοις οὐκ ἀναπαύσει σε, οὐδ᾿ οὐ μὴ γένηται στάσις τῷ ἴχνει τοῦ ποδός σου· καὶ δώσει σοι Κύριος ἐκεῖ καρδίαν ἑτέραν ἀπειθοῦσαν καὶ ἐκλιπόντας ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ τηκομένην ψυχήν.

καὶ
ἔσται ἡ ζωή σου κρεμαμένη ἀπέναντι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου, καὶ φοβηθήσῃ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ οὐ πιστεύσεις τῆ ζωῇ σου·

τὸ πρωὶ
¹² ἐρεῖς Ἠὼς ἄν γένοιτο ἑσπέρα; καὶ τὸ ἑσπέρας ἐρεῖς Ἠὼς ἂν γένοιτο Ρ, πρωί; ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου τῆς καρδίας σου αἰ φοβηθήσῃ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν
ὁραμάτων τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν σου ὧν ὄψῃ.

καὶ ἀποστρέψει σε κύριος εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐν πλοίοις, ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ εἶπα Οὐ προσθήσει ἔτι ἰδεῖν αὐτήν· καὶ πραθήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ὑμῶν εἰς παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ κτώμενος.

Deuteronomy Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 28 focus

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this day, who Yahweh your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth:

and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your animals, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough.

Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you: they shall come out against you one way, and shall flee before you seven ways.

Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.

All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Yahweh; and they shall be afraid of you.

Yahweh will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.

Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do [them],

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 you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, that all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.

Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough.

Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.

Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.

Yahweh will make the pestilence cleave to you, until he have consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.

Yahweh will strike you with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish.

Your sky that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron.

Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on you, until you are destroyed.

Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

Your dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none to frighten them away.

Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, whereof you can not be healed.

Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save you.

You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it.

Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have none to save you.

Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand.

The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you don’t know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;

so that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone.

You shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh shall lead you away.

You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it.

You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worm shall eat them.

You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive shall cast [its fruit].

You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into captivity.

All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the locust possess.

The sojourner who is in the midst of you shall mount up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.

He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

All these curses shall come on you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you are destroyed; because you didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you:

and they shall be on you for a sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever.

Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

therefore shall you serve your enemies whom Yahweh shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on your neck, until he have destroyed you.

Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a nation whose language you shall not understand;

a nation of fierce facial expressions, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,

and shall eat the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; that also shall not leave you grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your cattle, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

They shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which Yahweh your God has given you.

You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.

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 children whom he has remaining;

so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.

The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on 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,

and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your gates.

If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH YOUR GOD;

then Yahweh will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall cleave to you.

Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Yahweh bring on you, until you are destroyed.

You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky for multitude; because you didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.

It shall happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the land where you go in to possess it.

Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.

Among these nations shall you find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.

In the morning you shall say, Would it were even! and at even you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.

Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
