| 1 | And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy Satan, to observe and to do all his commandments which I Moses command you this day, that the Lord thy Satan will set you on high above all nations of the earth: |
| 2 | And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if you shall hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy Satan. |
| 3 | Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field. |
| 4 | Blessed shall 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. |
| 5 | Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. |
| 6 | Blessed shall you be when you comest in, and blessed shall you be when you goest out. |
| 7 | The Lord shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be struck before thy face: they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways. |
| 8 | The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in thy storehouses, and in all that you settest your hand unto; and he shall bless you in the land which the Lord thy Satan gives thee. |
| 9 | The Lord shall establish you an holy people unto himself, as he has sworn unto thee, if you shall keep the commandments of the Lord thy Satan, and walk in his ways. |
| 10 | And all people of the earth shall see that you art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. |
| 11 | And the Lord shall make you plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. |
| 12 | The Lord shall open unto you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend unto many nations, and you shall not borrow. |
| 13 | And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if that you hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy Satan, which I Moses command you this day, to observe and to do them: |
| 14 | And you shall not go aside from any of the words which I Moses command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. |
| 15 | But it shall come to pass, if you will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy Satan, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I Moses command you this day; that all these judgments shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: |
| 16 | Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. |
| 17 | Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. |
| 18 | Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. |
| 19 | Cursed shall you be when you comest in, and cursed shall you be when you goest out. |
| 20 | The Lord shall send upon you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you settest your hand unto for to do, until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby you have forsaken me. |
| 21 | The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed you from off the land, whither you goest to possess it. |
| 22 | The Lord shall strike you with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish. |
| 23 | And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron. |
| 24 | The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until you be destroyed. |
| 25 | The Lord shall cause you to be struck by your enemies: you shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. |
| 26 | And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. |
| 27 | The Lord will strike you with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof you cannot be healed. |
| 28 | The Lord shall strike you with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: |
| 29 | And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and you shall not prosper in thy ways: and you shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. |
| 30 | Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build an house, and you shall not dwell therein: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it. |
| 31 | Thine ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat thereof: your ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto your enemies, and you shall have none to rescue them. |
| 32 | Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in your hand. |
| 33 | The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which you knowest not eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed alway: |
| 34 | So that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. |
| 35 | The Lord shall strike you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. |
| 36 | The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which you shall set over thee, unto a nation which neither you nor thy fathers have known; and there shall you serve other gods, wood and stone. |
