14. not turning aside, either to the right or to the left, from any of the words which I am giving you today, following other gods and serving them.
15. But if you do not obey the voice of the Lord, your God, carefully observing all his commandments and statutes which I give you today, all these curses shall come upon you and overwhelm you:
16. May you be cursed in the city, and cursed in the country!
17. Cursed be your grain basket and your kneading bowl!
18. Cursed be the fruit of your womb, the produce of your soil and the offspring of your livestock, the issue of your herds and the young of your flocks!
19. May you be cursed in your coming in, and cursed in your going out!
20. The Lord will send on you a curse, panic, and frustration in everything you set your hand to, until you are speedily destroyed and perish for the evil you have done in forsaking me.
21. The Lord will make disease cling to you until he has made an end of you from the land you are entering to possess.
22. The Lord will strike you with consumption, fever, and inflammation, with fiery heat and drought, with blight and mildew, that will pursue you until you perish.
23. The heavens over your heads will be like bronze and the earth under your feet like iron.
24. For rain the Lord will give your land powdery dust, which will come down upon you from the heavens until you are destroyed.
25. The Lord will let you be beaten down before your enemies; though you advance against them from one direction, you will flee before them in seven, so that you will become an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26. Your corpses will become food for all the birds of the air and for the beasts of the field, with no one to frighten them off.
27. The Lord will strike you with Egyptian boils and with tumors, skin diseases and the itch, from none of which you can be cured.
28. And the Lord will strike you with madness, blindness and panic,
29. so that even at midday you will grope in the dark as though blind, unable to find your way. You will be oppressed and robbed continually, with no one to come to your aid.
