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

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

Your basket and your mixing bowl will be cursed.

Take note – I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

‘Cursed is the one who commits bestiality.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

And these other tribes must stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

‘Cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s boundary marker.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who misleads a blind person on the road.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who kills his neighbor in private.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who refuses to keep the words of this law.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who has sexual relations with his mother-in-law.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

That is why the Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses written in this scroll.

Then the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies, on those who hate you and persecute you.

Your children will be cursed, as well as the produce of your soil, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.

But the Lord your God refused to listen to Balaam and changed the curse to a blessing, for the Lord your God loves you.

‘Cursed is the one who perverts justice for the resident foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who has sexual relations with his father’s former wife, for he dishonors his father.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is the one who has sexual relations with his sister, the daughter of either his father or mother.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’
