½Å 28:1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all
his commands I give you today, the LORD your God w ill set you high above
all the nations on earth.
½Å 28:2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if
you obey the LORD your God:
½Å 28:3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
½Å 28:4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your
land and the young of your livestock--the calves of your herds and the
lambs of your flocks.
½Å 28:5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
½Å 28:6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go
out.
½Å 28:7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you
will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but
flee from you in seven.
½Å 28:8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything
you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bles s you in the land he
is giving you.
½Å 28:9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised
you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LOR D your God and walk in
his ways.
½Å 28:10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called
by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.
½Å 28:11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity--in the fruit
of your womb, the young of your livestock and the cr ops of your ground--in
the land he swore to your forefathers to give you.
½Å 28:12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty,
to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands.
You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
½Å 28:13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay
attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day
and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the
bottom.
½Å 28:14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today,
to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

½Å 28:15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully
follow all his commands and decrees I am gi ving you today, all these curses
will come upon you and overtake you:
½Å 28:16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
½Å 28:17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
½Å 28:18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your
land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
½Å 28:19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go
out.
½Å 28:20 The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in
everything you put your hand to, until you are destr oyed and come to sudden
ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.
½Å 28:21 The LORD will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed
you from the land you are entering to possess.
½Å 28:22 The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever
and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, w ith blight and mildew,
which will plague you until you perish.
½Å 28:23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath
you iron.
½Å 28:24 The LORD will turn the rain of your country into dust and
powder; it will come down from the skies until you a re destroyed.
½Å 28:25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies.
You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and
you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth.
½Å 28:26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and
the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away.
½Å 28:27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with
tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which yo u cannot be cured.
½Å 28:28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion
of mind.
½Å 28:29 At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark.
You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; da y after day you will
be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
½Å 28:30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another
will take her and ravish her. You will build a house , but you will not
live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy
its fruit.
½Å 28:31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will
eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not
be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will
rescue them.
½Å 28:32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and
you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless
to lift a hand.
½Å 28:33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and
labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel o ppression all your
days.
½Å 28:34 The sights you see will drive you mad.
½Å 28:35 The LORD will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils
that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top
of your head.
½Å 28:36 The LORD will drive you and the king you set over you to a
nation unknown to you or your fathers. There you wi ll worship other gods,
gods of wood and stone.
½Å 28:37 You will become a thing of horror and an object of scorn and
ridicule to all the nations where the LORD will d rive you.
½Å 28:38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little,
because locusts will devour it.
½Å 28:39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not
drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worm s will eat them.
½Å 28:40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you
will not use the oil, because the olives will drop o ff.
½Å 28:41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them,
because they will go into captivity.
½Å 28:42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops
of your land.
½Å 28:43 The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and
higher, but you will sink lower and lower.
½Å 28:44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will
be the head, but you will be the tail.
½Å 28:45 All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you
and overtake you until you are destroyed, because yo u did not obey the
LORD your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.
½Å 28:46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants
forever.
½Å 28:47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly
in the time of prosperity,
½Å 28:48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty,
you will serve the enemies the LORD sends again st you. He will put an
iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
½Å 28:49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from
the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping dow n, a nation whose language
you will not understand,
½Å 28:50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity
for the young.
½Å 28:51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops
of your land until you are destroyed. They will lea ve you no grain, new
wine or oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until
you are ruined.
½Å 28:52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land
until the high fortified walls in which you trust f all down. They will
besiege all the cities throughout the land the LORD your God is giving
you.
½Å 28:53 Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you
during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the w omb, the flesh of the
sons and daughters the LORD your God has given you.
½Å 28:54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have
no compassion on his own brother or the wife he lov es or his surviving
children,
½Å 28:55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his
children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.
½Å 28:56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you--so sensitive
and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole
of her foot--will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter
½Å 28:57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For
she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the distress that
your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.
½Å 28:58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law,
which are written in this book, and do not revere th is glorious and awesome
name--the LORD your God--
½Å 28:59 the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants,
harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.
½Å 28:60 He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you
dreaded, and they will cling to you.
½Å 28:61 The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and
disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, unti l you are destroyed.
½Å 28:62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left
but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your God.
½Å 28:63 Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase
in number, so it will please him to ruin and dest roy you. You will be
uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
½Å 28:64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one
end of the earth to the other. There you will worsh ip other gods--gods
of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
½Å 28:65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place
for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will g ive you an anxious mind,
eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart.
½Å 28:66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both
night and day, never sure of your life.
½Å 28:67 In the morning you will say, "If only it were evening!" and
in the evening, "If only it were mo rning!"--because of the terror that
will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.
½Å 28:68 The LORD will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey
I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for
sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you. |
