10
All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
11
The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground in the land that the Lord swore to your ancestors to give you.
12
The Lord will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
13
The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail; you shall be only at the top, and not at the bottom—if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today, by diligently observing them,
14
and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I am commanding you today, either to the right or to the left, following other gods to serve them.
15
But if you will not obey the Lord your God by diligently observing all his commandments and decrees, which I am commanding you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:
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 bowl.
18
Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle and the issue 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 disaster, panic, and frustration in everything you attempt to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken me.
