Deuteronomy 28 — Context

Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.

But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.

A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.

A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.

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

The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.
