14. And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:
15. Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.
16. Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.
17. Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.
18. Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.
19. Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.
20. Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, and so exposes the covering of his bed. And all the people shall say: Amen.
21. Cursed be he who lies with any beast. And all the people shall say: Amen.
