17. Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
18. Your own fertility, your soil’s produce, your cattle’s young, and your flock’s offspring will be cursed.
19. You will be cursed when you are out and about and cursed when you come back.
20. The Lord will send calamity, confusion, and frustration on you no matter what work you are doing until you are wiped out and until you disappear—it’ll be quick!—because of the evil acts by which you have abandoned him.
21. The Lord will make a plague stick to you until he has totally wiped you off the fertile land you are entering to possess.
22. The Lord will strike you with consumption, fever, and inflammation; with scorching heat and drought; with destruction and disease for your crops. These things will chase you until you are dead and gone.
