14. and do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

17. "Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18. "Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.
19. "Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20. "The Lord will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me.
21. The Lord will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you from the land where you are entering to possess it.

23. The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron.
