13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only be above and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today, to observe and to do them.
14 Also, you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15 But it will happen, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, by being careful to do all His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the field.
17 Your basket and your kneading bowl will be cursed.
18 Your offspring will be cursed along with the fruit of your land, the produce of your herd, and the flocks of your sheep.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
