13. The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only be above and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today, to observe and to do them.
14. Also, you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15. But it will happen, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, by being careful to do all His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.
16. You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the field.
17. Your basket and your kneading bowl will be cursed.
18. Your offspring will be cursed along with the fruit of your land, the produce of your herd, and the flocks of your sheep.
19. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
20. The Lord will send cursing, vexation, and rebuke on you in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly because of the wickedness of your doings, by which you have forsaken Me.
21. The Lord will make pestilence cling to you until it has consumed you from the land, which you are going to possess.
22. The Lord will strike you with a wasting disease, with a fever, with an inflammation, with an extreme heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew, and they shall pursue you until you perish.
23. The heavens which are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24. The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come from heaven down on you until you are destroyed.
25. The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies, and you will go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them, and will be become an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
26. Your carcass will be meat for all the fowls of the air and beasts of the earth, and no man will frighten them away.
27. The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, eczema, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.
