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:
And all these blessings
shall come
on thee, and overtake
thee, if thou shalt hearken
unto the voice
of the LORD
thy God.
Blessed
shalt thou be in the city,
and blessed
shalt thou be in the field.
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.
Blessed
shall be thy basket
and thy store.
Blessed
shalt thou be when thou comest in,
and blessed
shalt thou be when thou goest out.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
Cursed
shalt thou be in the city,
and cursed
shalt thou be in the field.
Cursed
shall be thy basket
and thy store.
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.

Cursed

The LORD
shall send
upon thee cursing,
vexation,

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.

and with the itch,
whereof thou canst

The LORD
shall smite
thee with madness,
and blindness,
and astonishment
of heart:
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.
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.
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.
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.

The LORD

The LORD

which neither thou nor thy fathers
have known;
and there shalt thou serve
other
gods,
wood
and stone.
And thou shalt become an astonishment,
a proverb,
and a byword,
among all nations
whither the LORD
shall lead
thee.
Thou shalt carry
much
seed
out
into the field,
and shalt gather
but little

for the locust
shall consume
it.
Thou shalt plant
vineyards,
and dress
them, but shalt neither drink
of the wine,
nor gather
the grapes; for the worms
shall eat
them.
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.
Thou shalt beget
sons

but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go
into captivity.
All thy trees

and thou shalt be the tail.
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:
And they shall be upon thee for a sign
and for a wonder,
and upon thy seed
for
ever.
Because thou servedst
not the LORD
thy God
with joyfulness,
and with gladness
of heart,
for the abundance
of all things;
Therefore shalt thou serve
thine enemies
which the LORD
shall send
against thee, in hunger,

and in nakedness,
and in want
of all things: and he shall put

If thou wilt not observe
to do

THE LORD
THY GOD;
Then the LORD
will make

Moreover he will bring
upon thee all the diseases
of Egypt,
which thou wast afraid
of;
and they shall cleave
unto thee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

And thy life
shall hang
in doubt before
thee; and thou shalt fear
day
and night,
and shalt have none assurance
of thy life:
In the morning
thou shalt say,
Would God it were
even!
and at even
thou shalt say,
Would God it were
morning!

of thine heart
wherewith thou shalt fear,
and for the sight

And the LORD
shall bring
thee into Egypt

whereof I spake
unto thee, Thou shalt see

and there ye shall be sold

for bondmen
and bondwomen,
and no man shall buy
you.
