¹⁸Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. ¹⁹Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.

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

²⁵^(H)“The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them. And you ^(I)shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶And ^(J)your dead body shall be food for all birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth, and ^(K)there shall be no one to frighten them away. ²⁷The Lord will strike you ^(L)with the boils of Egypt, and with tumors and ^(M)scabs and itch, of which you cannot be healed. ²⁸The Lord will strike you with ^(N)madness and blindness and confusion of mind,
