- “If you indeed obey the LORD your God and are careful to observe all his commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will elevate you above all the nations of the earth.
- All these blessings will come to you in abundance if you obey the LORD your God:
- You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.
- Your children will be blessed, as well as the produce of your soil, the offspring of your livestock, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
- Your basket and your mixing bowl will be blessed.
- You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
- The LORD will cause your enemies who attack you to be struck down before you; they will attack you from one direction but flee from you in seven different directions.
- The LORD will decree blessing for you with respect to your barns and in everything you do - yes, he will bless you in the land he is giving you.
…
- “But if you ignore the LORD your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force:
- You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the field.
- Your basket and your mixing bowl will be cursed.
- Your children will be cursed, as well as the produce of your soil, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
- You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
- “The LORD will send on you a curse, confusing you and opposing you in everything you undertake until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the evil of your deeds, in that you have forsaken me.
- The LORD will plague you with deadly diseases until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.
- He will afflict you with weakness, fever, inflammation, infection, sword, blight, and mildew; these will attack you until you perish.
- The sky above your heads will be bronze and the earth beneath you iron.
- The LORD will make the rain of your land powder and dust; it will come down on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
