16 Cursed shall you be (A)in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 19 Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 “The Lord (B)will send on you curses, confusion, and (C)frustration in all that you undertake to do, (D)until you are destroyed and perish quickly on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken me. 21 The Lord will make (E)the pestilence stick to you until he has consumed you off the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 22 (F)The Lord will strike you with wasting disease and with fever, inflammation and fiery heat, and with drought[a] and with (G)blight and with mildew. They shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And (H)the heavens over your head shall be bronze, and the earth under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder. From heaven dust shall come down on you until you are destroyed.

And you (J)shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And (K)your dead body shall be food for all birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth, and (L)there shall be no one to frighten them away. 27 The Lord will strike you (M)with the boils of Egypt, and with tumors and (N)scabs and itch, of which you cannot be healed. 28 The Lord will strike you with (O)madness and blindness and confusion of mind,
