1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hear­ken dili­gent­ly unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to ob­serve and to do all his com­mand­ments which I com­mand thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all na­tions of the earth: 2 And all these bless­ings shall come on thee, and over­take thee, if thou shalt hear­ken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cat­tle, the in­crease of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5 Blessed shall be thy bas­ket and thy store. 6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7 The LORD shall cause thine en­e­mies that rise up against thee to be smit­ten be­fore thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee be­fore thee sev­en ways. 8 The LORD shall com­mand the bless­ing upon thee in thy store­hous­es, and in all that thou settest thine hand un­to; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9 The LORD shall es­tab­lish thee an holy peo­ple unto him­self, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the com­mand­ments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10 And all peo­ple of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11 And the LORD shall make thee plen­teous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cat­tle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fa­thers to give thee. 12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good trea­sure, the heav­en to give the rain unto thy land in his sea­son, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many na­tions, and thou shalt not bor­row. 13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above on­ly, and thou shalt not be be­neath; if that thou hear­ken unto the com­mand­ments of the LORD thy God, which I com­mand thee this day, to ob­serve and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I com­mand thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go af­ter oth­er gods to serve them. 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hear­ken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to ob­serve to do all his com­mand­ments and his statutes which I com­mand thee this day; that all these curs­es shall come upon thee, and over­take thee: 16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be thy bas­ket and thy store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the in­crease of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20 The LORD shall send upon thee curs­ing, vex­a­tion, and re­buke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, un­til thou be de­stroyed, and un­til thou per­ish quick­ly; be­cause of the wicked­ness of thy do­ings, where­by thou hast for­sak­en me. 21 The LORD shall make the pesti­lence cleave unto thee, un­til he have con­sumed thee from off the land, whith­er thou goest to pos­sess it. 22 The LORD shall smite thee with a con­sump­tion, and with a fever, and with an in­flam­ma­tion, and with an ex­treme burn­ing, and with the sword, and with blast­ing, and with mildew; and they shall pur­sue thee un­til thou per­ish. 23 And thy heav­en that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is un­der thee shall be iron. 24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land pow­der and dust: from heav­en shall it come down upon thee, un­til thou be de­stroyed. 25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smit­ten be­fore thine en­e­mies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee sev­en ways be­fore them: and shalt be re­moved into all the king­doms of the earth. 26 And thy car­case shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, where­of thou canst not be healed. 28 The LORD shall smite thee with mad­ness, and blind­ness, and as­ton­ish­ment of heart: 29 And thou shalt grope at noon­day, as the blind gropeth in dark­ness, and thou shalt not pros­per in thy ways: and thou shalt be only op­pressed and spoiled ev­er­more, and no man shall save thee. 30 Thou shalt be­troth a wife, and an­oth­er man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell there­in: thou shalt plant a vine­yard, and shalt not gath­er the grapes there­of. 31 Thine ox shall be slain be­fore thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat there­of: thine ass shall be vi­o­lent­ly tak­en away from be­fore thy face, and shall not be re­stored to thee: thy sheep shall be giv­en unto thine en­e­mies, and thou shalt have none to res­cue them. 32 Thy sons and thy daugh­ters shall be giv­en unto an­oth­er peo­ple, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a na­tion which thou know­est not eat up; and thou shalt be only op­pressed and crushed al­way: 34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that can­not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a na­tion which nei­ther thou nor thy fa­thers have known; and there shalt thou serve oth­er gods, wood and stone. 37 And thou shalt be­come an as­ton­ish­ment, a proverb, and a by­word, among all na­tions whith­er the LORD shall lead thee. 38 Thou shalt car­ry much seed out into the field, and shalt gath­er but lit­tle in; for the lo­cust shall con­sume it. 39 Thou shalt plant vine­yards, and dress them, but shalt nei­ther drink of the wine, nor gath­er the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40 Thou shalt have olive trees through­out all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daugh­ters, but thou shalt not en­joy them; for they shall go into cap­tiv­i­ty. 42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the lo­cust con­sume. 43 The stranger that is with­in thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45 More­over all these curs­es shall come upon thee, and shall pur­sue thee, and over­take thee, till thou be de­stroyed; be­cause thou hear­kenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his com­mand­ments and his statutes which he com­mand­ed thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a won­der, and upon thy seed for ev­er. 47 Be­cause thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joy­ful­ness, and with glad­ness of heart, for the abun­dance of all things; 48 There­fore shalt thou serve thine en­e­mies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in naked­ness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, un­til he have de­stroyed thee. 49 The LORD shall bring a na­tion against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the ea­gle fli­eth; a na­tion whose tongue thou shalt not un­der­stand; 50 A na­tion of fierce coun­te­nance, which shall not re­gard the per­son of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cat­tle, and the fruit of thy land, un­til thou be de­stroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the in­crease of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, un­til he have de­stroyed thee. 52 And he shall be­siege thee in all thy gates, un­til thy high and fenced walls come down, where­in thou trust­edst, through­out all thy land: and he shall be­siege thee in all thy gates through­out all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath giv­en thee. 53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daugh­ters, which the LORD thy God hath giv­en thee, in the siege, and in the strait­ness, where­with thine en­e­mies shall dis­tress thee: 54 ­So that the man that is ten­der among you, and very del­i­cate, his eye shall be evil to­ward his broth­er, and to­ward the wife of his bo­som, and to­ward the rem­nant of his chil­dren which he shall leave: 55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his chil­dren whom he shall eat: be­cause he hath noth­ing left him in the siege, and in the strait­ness, where­with thine en­e­mies shall dis­tress thee in all thy gates. 56 The ten­der and del­i­cate wom­an among you, which would not ad­ven­ture to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for del­i­cate­ness and ten­der­ness, her eye shall be evil to­ward the hus­band of her bo­som, and to­ward her son, and to­ward her daugh­ter, 57 And to­ward her young one that cometh out from be­tween her feet, and to­ward her chil­dren which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things se­cret­ly in the siege and strait­ness, where­with thine en­e­my shall dis­tress thee in thy gates. 58 If thou wilt not ob­serve to do all the words of this law that are writ­ten in this book, that thou mayest fear this glo­ri­ous and fear­ful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues won­der­ful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long con­tin­u­ance, and sore sick­ness­es, and of long con­tin­u­ance. 60 More­over he will bring upon thee all the dis­eases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61 Also ev­ery sick­ness, and ev­ery plague, which is not writ­ten in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, un­til thou be de­stroyed. 62 And ye shall be left few in num­ber, where­as ye were as the stars of heav­en for mul­ti­tude; be­cause thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD re­joiced over you to do you good, and to mul­ti­ply you; so the LORD will re­joice over you to de­stroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whith­er thou goest to pos­sess it. 64 And the LORD shall scat­ter thee among all peo­ple, from the one end of the earth even unto the oth­er; and there thou shalt serve oth­er gods, which nei­ther thou nor thy fa­thers have known, even wood and stone. 65 And among these na­tions shalt thou find no ease, nei­ther shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trem­bling heart, and fail­ing of eyes, and sor­row of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt be­fore thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none as­sur­ance of thy life: 67 In the morn­ing thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morn­ing! for the fear of thine heart where­with thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way where­of I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your en­e­mies for bond­men and bond­wom­en, and no man shall buy you.
