14. “And do not turn aside from any of the Words which I am commanding you today, right or left, to go after other mighty ones to serve them.
15. “And it shall be, if you do not obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands and His laws which I command you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:
16. “Cursed are you in the city, and cursed are you in the field.
17. “Cursed is your basket and your kneading bowl.
18. “Cursed is the fruit of your body and the fruit of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
19. “Cursed are you when you come in, and cursed are you when you go out.
20. “יהוה sends on you the curse, the confusion, and the rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken Me.
21. “יהוה makes the plague cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess.
