He will infect you with all the diseases of Egypt<n id="1" /> that you dreaded, and they will persistently afflict you.<n id="2" />

If you refrain from making a vow, it will not be sinful.

These curses<n id="1" /> will be a perpetual sign and wonder with reference to you and your descendants.<n id="2" />p>

You will be blessed beyond all peoples; there will be no barrenness<n id="1" /> among you or your livestock.

There must never be found among you anyone who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire,<n id="1" /> anyone who practices divination,<n id="2" /> an omen reader,<n id="3" /> a soothsayer,<n id="4" /> a sorcerer,<n id="5" />

for the <sc>Lordsc> your God, who is present among you, is a jealous God and his anger will erupt against you and remove you from the land.<n id="1" />p>

The <sc>Lordsc> will protect you from all sickness, and you will not experience any of the terrible diseases that you knew in Egypt; instead he will inflict them on all those who hate you.p>

However, there should not be any poor among you, for the <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> will surely bless<n id="2" /> you in the land that he<n id="3" /> is giving you as an inheritance,<n id="4" />

When you make a vow to the <sc>Lordsc> your God you must not delay in fulfilling it, for otherwise he<n id="1" /> will surely<n id="2" /> hold you accountable as a sinner.<n id="3" />

how they met you along the way and cut off all your stragglers in the rear of the march when you were exhausted and tired; they were unafraid of God.<n id="1" />

The <sc>Lordsc> will plague you with deadly diseases<n id="1" /> until he has completely removed you from the land you are about to possess.

The man among you who is by nature tender and sensitive will turn against his brother, his beloved wife, and his remaining children.

&#8220;Take this scroll of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the <sc>Lordsc> your God. It will remain there as a witness against you,

For you are a people holy<n id="1" /> to the <sc>Lordsc> your God. He<n id="2" /> has chosen you to be his people, prized<n id="3" /> above all others on the face of the earth.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">If a fellow Israelite<n id="1" /> from one of your villages<n id="2" /> in the land that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is giving you should be poor, you must not harden your heart or be insensitive<n id="3" /> to his impoverished condition.<n id="4" />

Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude<n id="1" /> be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite<n id="2" /> and you do not lend<n id="3" /> him anything; he will cry out to the <sc>Lordsc> against you and you will be regarded as having sinned.<n id="4" />

If there is someone among you who is impure because of some nocturnal emission,<n id="1" /> he must leave the camp; he may not reenter it immediately.

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God walks about in the middle of your camp to deliver you and defeat<n id="1" /> your enemies for you. Therefore your camp should be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent<n id="2" /> among you and turn away from you.p>

You must pay his wage that very day before the sun sets, for he is poor and his life depends on it. Otherwise he will cry out to the <sc>Lordsc> against you, and you will be guilty of sin.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">&#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> will send on you a curse, confusing you and opposing you<n id="1" /> in everything you undertake<n id="2" /> until you are destroyed and quickly perish because of the evil of your deeds, in that you have forsaken me.<n id="3" />
