Deuteronomy 28:16-24
Lexham English Bible

16 “You shall[a] be cursed in the city, and you shall be cursed in the field.

17 “Your basket shall be cursed and your kneading trough.

18 “The fruit of your womb shall be cursed and the fruit of you ground, the calves of your cattle and the lambs of your flock.

19 “You shall be cursed when you come in,[b] and you shall be cursed when you go out.[c]

20 “Yahweh will send upon you[d] the curse,[e] the panic,[f] and the threat[g] in everything that you undertake,[h] until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly[i] because of[j] the evil of your deeds in that[k] you have forsaken me. 21 Yahweh will cause the plague to cling to you until it consumes you[l] from the land that you are going to,[m] to take possession of it. 22 Yahweh will afflict you with the wasting diseases and with the fever and with the inflammation and with the scorching heat and with the sword[n] and with the blight and with the mildew, and they shall pursue you until you perish.[o] 23 And your heavens that are over your heads shall be like bronze, and the earth that is under you shall be like iron. 24 Yahweh will change the rain of your land to fine dust and to sand; from the heaven it shall come down upon you until you are destroyed.[p]
