16
Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
17
Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough.
18
Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, 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 will send upon you curses, confusion, and frustration, in all that you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly, on account of the evil of your doings, because you have forsaken me.
21
The LORD will make the pestilence cleave to you until he has consumed you off the land which you are entering to take possession of it.
22
The LORD will smite you with consumption, and with fever, inflammation, and fiery heat, and with drought, and with blasting, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.
23
And the heavens over your head shall be brass, and the earth under you shall be iron.
24
The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down upon you until you are destroyed.
25
"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 shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26
And your dead body shall be food for all birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth; and there shall be no one to frighten them away.
