[1] It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of Yahweh
your God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you this
day, who Yahweh your God will set you on high above all the nations of the
earth: [2] and all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if
you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God. [3] Blessed shall you be
in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. [4] Blessed shall be
the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your
animals, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock. [5]
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough. [6] Blessed shall
you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. [7]
Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before
you: they shall come out against you one way, and shall flee before you
seven ways. [8] Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and
in all that you put your hand to; and he will bless you in the land which
Yahweh your God gives you. [9] Yahweh will establish you for a holy people
to himself, as he has sworn to you; if you shall keep the commandments of
Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways. [10] All the peoples of the earth
shall see that you are called by the name of Yahweh; and they shall be
afraid of you. [11] Yahweh will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit
of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your
ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you. [12]
Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of
your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you
shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow. [13] Yahweh will make
you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall
not be beneath; if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God,
which I command you this day, to observe and to do [them], [14] and shall
not turn aside from any of the words which I command you 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 you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh your
God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command
you this day, that all these curses shall come on 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-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] Yahweh will send
on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do,
until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil
of your doings, whereby you have forsaken me. [21] Yahweh will make the
pestilence cleave to you, until he have consumed you from off the land,
where you go in to possess it. [22] Yahweh will strike you with
consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat,
and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall
pursue you until you perish. [23] Your sky that is over your head shall be
brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron. [24] Yahweh will make
the rain of your land powder and dust: from the sky shall it come down on
you, until you are destroyed. [25] Yahweh will cause you to be struck
before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and shall flee
seven ways before them: and you shall be tossed back and forth among all
the kingdoms of the earth. [26] Your dead body shall be food to all birds
of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there shall be none to
frighten them away. [27] Yahweh will strike you with the boil of Egypt, and
with the tumors, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, whereof you can
not be healed. [28] Yahweh will strike you with madness, and with
blindness, and with astonishment of heart; [29] and you shall grope at
noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your
ways: and you shall be only oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be
none to save you. [30] You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie
with her: you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell therein: you
shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it. [31] Your ox
shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat of it: your donkey
shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be
restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall
have none to save you. [32] Your sons and your daughters shall be given to
another people; and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them
all the day: and there shall be nothing in the power of your hand. [33] The
fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you don`t
know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always; [34] so
that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. [35]
Yahweh will strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil,
whereof you can not be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of
your head. [36] Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you shall set
over you, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers; and
there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone. [37] You shall become an
astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh
shall lead you away. [38] You shall carry much seed out into the field, and
shall gather little in; for the locust shall consume it. [39] You shall
plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine,
nor gather [the grapes]; for the worm shall eat them. [40] You shall have
olive-trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself
with the oil; for your olive shall cast [its fruit]. [41] You shall father
sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours; for they shall go into
captivity. [42] All your trees and the fruit of your ground shall the
locust possess. [43] The sojourner who is in the midst of you shall mount
up above you higher and higher; and you shall come down lower and lower.
[44] He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the
head, and you shall be the tail. [45] All these curses shall come on you,
and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you be destroyed; because you
didn`t listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep his commandments and
his statutes which he commanded you: [46] and they shall be on you for a
sign and for a wonder, and on your seed forever. [47] Because you didn`t
serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by
reason of the abundance of all things; [48] therefore shall you serve your
enemies whom Yahweh shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and
in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron on
your neck, until he have destroyed you. [49] Yahweh will bring a nation
against you from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a
nation whose language you shall not understand; [50] a nation of fierce
facial expressions, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show
favor to the young, [51] and shall eat the fruit of your cattle, and the
fruit of your ground, until you be destroyed; that also shall not leave you
grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of your cattle, or the young of your
flock, until they have caused you to perish. [52] They shall besiege you in
all your gates, until your high and fortified walls come down, in which you
trusted, throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your
gates throughout all your land, which Yahweh your God has given you. [53]
You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of
your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the
distress with which your enemies shall distress you. [54] The man who 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 whom he has remaining; [55] so that he will not give to any of
them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing
left him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall
distress you in all your gates. [56] The tender and delicate woman among
you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot on 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 who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom
she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in
the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in
your gates. [58] If you will not observe to do all the words of this law
that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful
name, YAHWEH YOUR GOD; [59] then Yahweh will make your plagues wonderful,
and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance,
and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. [60] He will bring on you
again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall
cleave to you. [61] Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not
written in the book of this law, them will Yahweh bring on you, until you
be destroyed. [62] You shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the
stars of the sky for multitude; because you didn`t listen to the voice of
Yahweh your God. [63] It shall happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to
do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause
you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the
land where you go in to possess it. [64] Yahweh will scatter you among all
peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;
and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor
your fathers, even wood and stone. [65] Among these nations shall you find
no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh
will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of
soul; [66] and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear
night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life. [67] In the
morning you shall say, Would it were even! and at even you shall say, Would
it were morning! for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for
the sight of your eyes which you shall see. [68] Yahweh will bring you into
Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said to you, You shall see it
no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies for
bondservants and for bondmaids, and no man shall buy you.
