Deuteronomy 28:13-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.

¹⁴ And you 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.

¹⁵ But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:

¹⁶ Cursed shall you be in the city and cursed shall you be in the field.

¹⁷ Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.

¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, of your land, of the increase of your cattle and the young of your sheep.

¹⁹ Cursed shall you be when you come in and cursed shall you be when you go out.

²⁰ The Lord shall send you curses, confusion, and rebuke in every enterprise to which you set your hand, until you are destroyed, perishing quickly because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken me [Moses and God as one].
