43 eThe stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 44 fHe shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: ehe shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45 Moreover gall these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46 And they shall be upon thee hfor a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with igladness of heart, kfor the abundance of all things; 48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he lshall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 mThe Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, nas swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not †understand; 50 A nation †of fierce countenance, owhich shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall peat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52 And he shall qbesiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. 53 And rthou shalt eat the fruit of thine own †body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, sin the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: 54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, this eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward uthe wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: 55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him sin the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56 The wtender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, ther eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57 And toward her †young one that cometh out xfrom between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly sin the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, yTHE LORD THY GOD; 59 Then the Lord zwill make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the adiseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord †bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62 And ye shall be left bfew in number, whereas ye were cas the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God. 63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord drejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord ewill rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64 And the Lord fshall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and gthere thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65 And hamong these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: ibut the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and kfailing of eyes, and ksorrow of mind: 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67 lIn the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and mfor the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68 And the Lord nshall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, oThou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
