¹⁵But suppose you don’t obey the Lord your God. And you aren’t careful to follow all of his commands and rules I’m giving you today. Then he will send curses on you. They’ll catch up with you. Here are those curses.

¹⁶You will be cursed in the cities. You will be cursed out in the country.

¹⁷Your baskets and bread pans will be cursed.

¹⁸Your children will be cursed. Your crops will be cursed. Your calves and lambs will be cursed.

¹⁹You will be cursed no matter where you go.

²⁰The Lord will send curses on you. You won’t know what’s going on. In everything you do, he will be angry with you. You will be destroyed suddenly and completely. That will happen because you did an evil thing when you deserted the Lord.

²¹He will send all kinds of sicknesses on you. He’ll send them until he has destroyed you. He’ll remove you from the land you are entering to take as your own. ²²The Lord will make you sick and very weak. He will strike you with fever and swelling. He’ll send burning heat. There won’t be any rain. The hot winds will completely dry up your crops. All of those things will happen until you die.

²³The sky above you will be like bronze. The ground beneath you will be like iron. ²⁴The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder. It will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
