13And the LORD shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if you listen unto the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do them:
14And you shall not go aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen unto the voice of the LORD your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come upon you, and overtake you:
16Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
17Cursed shall be your basket and your store.
18Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your kine, and the flocks of your sheep.
19Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20The LORD shall send upon you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you set your hand unto for to do, until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken Me.
21The LORD shall make the pestilence cling unto you, until He has consumed you from off the land, where you go to possess it.
22The LORD shall strike you with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish.
