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 Yahweh’s name, and they will be afraid of you.
11. Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, 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. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13. Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath; if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14. and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, 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 Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you, and overtake you.
16. You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.
17. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18. The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.
19. You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed 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 are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
21. Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.
22. Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.
23. Your sky that is over your head will be brass, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24. Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed.
25. Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26. Your dead body will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away.
