12. The Lord will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13. The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath; if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14. and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15. But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the Lord your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you, and overtake you.
16. You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.
17. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18. The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.
19. You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.
20. The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
