13. The Lord will make you like the head and not like the tail; you will be on top and not on bottom. But you must obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today, being careful to keep them.
14. Do not disobey anything I command you today. Do exactly as I command, and do not follow other gods or serve them.
15. But if you do not obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands and laws I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and stay:
16. You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
