And it shallcome to pass, if thoushalthearkendiligentlyunto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandmentswhich I commandtheethis day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on highabove all nations of the earth:
Blessedshall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
The LORDshallcausethineenemiesthatrise up againstthee to be smittenbefore thy face: theyshallcome out againstthee one way, and fleebeforetheesevenways.
The LORDshallcommand the blessinguponthee in thy storehouses, and in all thatthousettestthinehandunto; and he shallblessthee in the landwhich the LORD thy God giveththee.
The LORDshallestablishthee an holypeopleuntohimself, as he hathswornuntothee, if thoushaltkeep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
And the LORDshallmaketheeplenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the landwhich the LORDswareunto thy fathers to givethee.
The LORDshallopenuntothee his goodtreasure, the heaven to give the rainunto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thinehand: and thoushaltlenduntomanynations, and thoushalt not borrow.
And the LORDshallmakethee the head, and not the tail; and thoushalt be aboveonly, and thoushalt not be beneath; if thatthouhearkenunto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I commandtheethis day, to observe and to do them:
But it shallcome to pass, if thouwilt not hearkenunto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statuteswhich I commandtheethis day; that all thesecursesshallcomeuponthee, and overtakethee:
The LORDshallsendupontheecursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all thatthousettestthinehandunto for to do, untilthou be destroyed, and untilthouperishquickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, wherebythouhastforsaken me.
The LORDshallsmitetheewith a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extremeburning, and with the sword, and withblasting, and withmildew; and theyshallpursuetheeuntilthouperish.
The LORDshallcausethee to be smittenbeforethineenemies: thoushalt go out one way againstthem, and fleesevenwaysbeforethem: and shalt be removedinto all the kingdoms of the earth.
And thoushaltgrope at noonday, as the blindgropeth in darkness, and thoushalt not prosper in thy ways: and thoushalt be onlyoppressed and spoiledevermore, and no man shallsavethee.
Thoushaltbetroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thoushaltbuild an house, and thoushalt not dwelltherein: thoushaltplant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapesthereof.
Thine ox shall be slainbeforethineeyes, and thoushalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violentlytakenawayfrombefore thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheepshall be givenuntothineenemies, and thoushalthavenone to rescuethem.
Thy sons and thy daughtersshall be givenuntoanotherpeople, and thineeyesshalllook, and failwithlonging for them all the day long: and thereshall be no might in thinehand.
The LORDshallbringthee, and thy kingwhichthoushalt set overthee, unto a nationwhichneitherthou nor thy fathershaveknown; and thereshaltthouserveothergods, wood and stone.
Moreover all thesecursesshallcomeuponthee, and shallpursuethee, and overtakethee, tillthou be destroyed; becausethouhearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statuteswhich he commandedthee:
Thereforeshaltthouservethineenemieswhich the LORDshallsendagainstthee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of ironupon thy neck, until he havedestroyedthee.
And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, untilthou be destroyed: whichalsoshall not leavetheeeithercorn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he havedestroyedthee.
And he shallbesiegethee in all thy gates, until thy high and fencedwallscomedown, whereinthoutrustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shallbesiegethee in all thy gatesthroughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hathgiventhee.
And thoushalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hathgiventhee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewiththineenemiesshalldistressthee:
So that the man that is tenderamong you, and verydelicate, his eye shall be eviltoward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his childrenwhich he shallleave:
So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his childrenwhom he shall eat: because he hathnothingleft him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewiththineenemiesshalldistressthee in all thy gates.
The tender and delicatewomanamong you, whichwould not adventure to set the sole of her footupon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be eviltoward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
And toward her young one thatcometh out frombetween her feet, and toward her childrenwhich she shallbear: for she shall eat them for want of all thingssecretly in the siege and straitness, wherewiththineenemyshalldistressthee in thy gates.
If thouwilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in thisbook, thatthoumayestfearthisglorious and fearfulname, THE LORD THY GOD;
Then the LORDwillmake thy plagueswonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, evengreatplagues, and of longcontinuance, and soresicknesses, and of longcontinuance.
And it shallcome to pass, that as the LORDrejoicedover you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORDwillrejoiceover you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be pluckedfrom off the landwhitherthougoest to possess it.
And the LORDshallscattertheeamong all people, from the one end of the earthevenunto the other; and therethoushaltserveothergods, whichneitherthou nor thy fathershaveknown, evenwood and stone.
And amongthesenationsshaltthoufind no ease, neithershall the sole of thy foothaverest: but the LORDshallgivetheethere a tremblingheart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
In the morningthoushalt say, Would God it wereeven! and at eventhoushalt say, Would God it weremorning! for the fear of thineheartwherewiththoushaltfear, and for the sight of thineeyeswhichthoushalt see.
And the LORDshallbringtheeintoEgyptagainwithships, by the way whereof I spakeuntothee, Thoushalt see it no moreagain: and there ye shall be solduntoyourenemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
