the field, cursed shall thine almery be and thy store. Cursed shall be
the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy land be and the fruit of
thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep. And cursed shalt thou be when
thou goest in, and when thou goest out. And the LORD shall send upon
thee cursing, going to nought and complaining in all that thou settest
thine hand to, whatsoever thou doest: until thou be destroyed and
brought to nought quickly, because of the wickedness of thine
inventions in that thou hast forsaken the LORD. And the LORD shall make
the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from the
land whither thou goest to enjoy it. And the LORD shall smite thee with
swelling, with fevers, heat, burning, weathering, with smiting and
blasting. And they shall follow thee, until thou perish. And the heaven
that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee,
iron. And the LORD shall turn the rain of the land unto powder and
dust: even from heaven they shall come down upon thee, until thou be
brought to nought. And the LORD shall plague thee before thine enemies:
Thou shalt come out one way against them, and flee seven ways before

make it common. Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou
shalt not eat thereof. Thine ass shall be violently taken away even
before thy face, and shall not be restored thee again. Thy sheep shall
be given unto thine enemies, and no man shall help thee. Thy sons and
thy daughters shall be given unto another nation, and thine eyes shall
see and daze upon them all day long, but shalt have no might in thine
hand. The fruit of thy land and all thy labours shall a nation which
thou knowest not, eat, and thou shalt but suffer violence only and be
oppressed alway: that thou shalt be clean beside thyself for the sight
of thine eyes which thou shalt see. The LORD shall smite thee with a
mischievous botch in the knees and legs, so that thou canst not be
healed: even from the sole of the foot unto the top of the head. The
