Consequences of Disobedience

¹⁵ “^(A)But it shall come about, if you do not ^[a]obey the Lord your God, to be careful to ^[b]follow all His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

²⁷ “^(A)The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt and with ^(B)tumors, the festering rash, and with scabies, from which you cannot be healed. ²⁸ The Lord will strike you with insanity, blindness, and with confusion of ^[a]mind; ²⁹ and you will be ^(C)groping about at noon, just as a person who is blind gropes in the darkness, and you will not be successful in your ways; but you will only be ^[b]oppressed and robbed all the time, with no one to save you.

³⁴ You will also be driven insane by the sight of ^[a]what you see. ^35 (A)The Lord will strike you on the knees and thighs with severe boils from which you cannot be healed, and strike you from the sole of your foot to the top of your head. ^36 (B)The Lord will bring you and your king, whom you appoint over you, to a nation that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods, made of ^(C)wood and stone. ³⁷ And ^(D)you will become an object of horror, a song of mockery, and an object of taunting among all the peoples where the Lord drives you.
