13. The Lord will make you the head not the tail, the top not the bottom, if you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I am giving you today, observing them carefully,
14. not turning aside, either to the right or to the left, from any of the words which I am giving you today, following other gods and serving them.
15. But if you do not obey the voice of the Lord, your God, carefully observing all his commandments and statutes which I give you today, all these curses shall come upon you and overwhelm you:
16. May you be cursed in the city, and cursed in the country!
