2:2 I will send the curse upon you. See Deut. 28:20.

I will curse your blessings. The blessings are either the physical and material blessings promised to the priests who received the peoples’ tithes (Num. 18:21), or the pronouncements of blessing uttered by the priests at the time of the sacrifices (Num. 6:24–27), which then would become a curse.
