New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 28:18-32 Modern English Version (MEV)

18. Your offspring will be cursed along with the fruit of your land, the produce of your herd, and the flocks of your sheep.

19. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

20. The Lord will send cursing, vexation, and rebuke on you in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly because of the wickedness of your doings, by which you have forsaken Me.

21. The Lord will make pestilence cling to you until it has consumed you from the land, which you are going to possess.

22. The Lord will strike you with a wasting disease, with a fever, with an inflammation, with an extreme heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew, and they shall pursue you until you perish.

23. The heavens which are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.

24. The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come from heaven down on you until you are destroyed.

25. The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies, and you will go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them, and will be become an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

26. Your carcass will be meat for all the fowls of the air and beasts of the earth, and no man will frighten them away.

27. The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, eczema, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

28. The Lord will strike you with madness, and blindness, and bewilderment of heart.

29. You will grope at noon, as the blind man gropes in darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and continually robbed, and no man will save you.

30. You will be engaged to a woman and another man shall rape her. You will build a house, but you will not dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not gather its grapes.

31. Your ox will be killed before your eyes, and you will not eat of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before you and will not be returned to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to rescue them.

32. Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long, but there will be nothing you can do.
