15 But if thou wilt not obey the voice of the Lord thy God, in keeping and doing all his commandments and ordinances, which I command thee this day, then shall all these curses come upon thee and take hold of thee. 16 Thou shalt be cursed in the city and likewise cursed in the field. 17 Thy basket shall be cursed and thy store. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and of the flocks of thy sheep. 19 Thou shalt be cursed in thy coming in, and cursed in thy going out. 20 The Lord will send upon thee cursedness, trouble, and destruction in all that ever thou puttest thine hand unto, and in all that thou doest, until he hath destroyed thee, and thou quickly perish, because of thy evil inventions, through the which thou hast forsaken me. 21 The Lord will make the pestilence to cleave unto thee, till it hath consumed thee from the land, which thou goest to possess it. 22 The Lord will strike thee with swellings and with the fevers, and with hot diseases, and with burning sicknesses, and with drought, and with sword, and with blasting winds, and with the yellow Jaundice, and he will pursue thee until he have utterly destroyed thee. 23 And the heaven which is over thy head, shall be brass, and the earth underneath thee shall be iron. 24 In stead of raining upon the earth, the Lord will give thee dust and ashes: and he will come down from heaven upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
15 But if thou wilt not obey the voyce of the Lorde thy God, in keeping and doing all his commaundementes and ordinances, which I commaund thee this day, then shall all these curses come vpon thee and take holde of thee. 16 Thou shalt bee cursed in the citie and likewise cursed in the feelde. 17 Thy basket shalbee cursed and thy store. 18 Cursed shalbee the fruite of thy wombe, and the fruite of thy lande, the increase of thy kyne, and of the flocks of thy sheepe. 19 Thou shalt bee cursed in thy comming in, and cursed in thy going out. 20 The Lorde will sende vppon thee cursednesse, trouble, and destruction in all that euer thou puttest thine hande vnto, and in all that thou doest, vntill hee hath destroyed thee, and thou quickely perish, because of thy euil inuentions, through the which thou hast forsaken mee. 21 The Lorde will make the pestilence to cleaue vnto thee, till it hath consumed thee from the lande, which thou goest to possesse it. 22 The Lorde will strike thee with swellings and with the feuers, and with whote diseases, and with burning sickenesses, and with drought, and with sworde, and with blasting windes, and with the yellowe Iaundis, and hee will pursue thee vntill hee haue vtterly destroyed thee. 23 And the heauen which is ouer thy head, shalbee brasse, and the earth vnderneath thee shalbee yron. 24 In steede of rayning vppon the earth, the Lorde will giue thee dust and ashes: and hee will come downe from heauen vppon thee, vntill thou bee destroyed.
