^{17 Ref} A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.

^{18 Ref} 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.

^{19 Ref} You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

^{21 Ref} The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.

^{22 Ref} The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.

^{24 Ref} The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.

^{26 Ref} Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.
