13. The Lord your God will make you the leader among the nations and not a follower; you will always prosper and never fail if you obey faithfully all his commands that I am giving you today.
14. But you must never disobey them in any way, or worship and serve other gods.
15. “But if you disobey the Lord your God and do not faithfully keep all his commands and laws that I am giving you today, all these evil things will happen to you:
16. “The Lord will curse your towns and your fields.
17. “The Lord will curse your corn crops and the food you prepare from them.
18. “The Lord will curse you by giving you only a few children, poor crops, and few cattle and sheep.
19. “The Lord will curse everything you do.
20. “If you do evil and reject the Lord, he will bring on you disaster, confusion, and trouble in everything you do, until you are quickly and completely destroyed.
21. He will send disease after disease on you until there is not one of you left in the land that you are about to occupy.
22. The Lord will strike you with infectious diseases, with swelling and fever; he will send drought and scorching winds to destroy your crops. These disasters will be with you until you die.
23. No rain will fall, and your ground will become as hard as iron.
24. Instead of rain, the Lord will send down duststorms and sandstorms until you are destroyed.
25. “The Lord will give your enemies victory over you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run from them in all directions, and all the people on earth will be terrified when they see what happens to you.
