15. But you might not obey the Lord your God. You might not carefully follow all his commands and laws I am giving you today. Then all these curses will come upon you and stay:
16. You will be cursed in the city. You will be cursed in the country.
17. Your basket and your kitchen will be cursed.
18. Your children will be cursed. Your crops will be cursed. The calves of your cattle will be cursed. And the lambs of your flocks will be cursed.
19. You will be cursed when you go in and when you go out.
20. The Lord will send you curses, confusion and punishment in everything you do. You will be destroyed. You will suddenly be ruined. You did wrong when you left him.
21. The Lord will give you terrible diseases. He will destroy you from the land you are going to take.
22. The Lord will punish you with disease, fever, swelling, heat, no rain, plant diseases and mildew. Then you will die.
