Deuteronomy 26
[1] And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy
God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest
therein; [2] That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the
earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth
thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the
LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.
[3] And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say
unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the
country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. [4] And the
priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the
altar of the LORD thy God. [5] And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD
thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into
Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great,
mighty, and populous: [6] And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and
afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
[7] And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our
voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
[8] And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with
an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with
wonders:
[9] And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land,
even a land that floweth with milk and honey. [10] And now, behold, I have
brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And
thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy
God: [11] And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God
hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the
stranger that is among you.
[12] When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase
the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the
Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat
within thy gates, and be filled;
[13] Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the
hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the
Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow,
according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not
transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them: [14] I have
not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof
for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have
hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all
that thou hast commanded me.
[15] Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people
Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our
fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. [16] This day the LORD
thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt
therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
[17] Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his
ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments,
and to hearken unto his voice:
[18] And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as
he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
[19] And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise,
and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the
LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

Deuteronomy 27
[1] And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep
all the commandments which I command you this day. [2] And it shall be on
the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them
with plaister: [3] And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this
law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as
the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
[4] Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up
these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt
plaister them with plaister.
[5] And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of
stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. [6] Thou shalt
build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer
burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: [7] And thou shalt offer
peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
[8] And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
[9] And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying,
Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of
the LORD thy God.
[10] Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. [11] And
Moses charged the people the same day, saying, [12] These shall stand upon
mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
[13] And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and
Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
[14] And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a
loud voice,
[15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an
abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and
putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say,
Amen. [16] Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
[17] Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
[18] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
[19] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless,
and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. [20] Cursed be he that lieth
with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all
the people shall say, Amen. [21] Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of
beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[22] Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father,
or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. [23]
Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall
say, Amen.
[24] Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
[25] Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
[26] Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them.
And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 28
[1] And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the
voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which
I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above
all nations of the earth:
[2] And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou
shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. [3] Blessed shalt thou be
in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
[4] Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground,
and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of
thy sheep.
[5] Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. [6] Blessed shalt thou be
when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be
smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee
before thee seven ways.
[8] The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and
in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. [9] The LORD shall establish thee
an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep
the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
[10] And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name
of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. [11] And the LORD shall make
thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy
cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware
unto thy fathers to give thee. [12] The LORD shall open unto thee his good
treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to
bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations,
and thou shalt not borrow. [13] And the LORD shall make thee the head, and
not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath;
if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I
command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
[14] And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee
this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to
serve them.
[15] But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of
the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee,
and overtake thee:
[16] Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
[17] Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. [18] Cursed shall be the
fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and
the flocks of thy sheep. [19] Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and
cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
[20] The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all
that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and
until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby
thou hast forsaken me.
[21] The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have
consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. [22] The
LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an
inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with
blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
[23] And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth
that is under thee shall be iron.
[24] The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven
shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. [25] The LORD shall
cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way
against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into
all the kingdoms of the earth. [26] And thy carcase shall be meat unto all
fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray
them away. [27] The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with
the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not
be healed. [28] The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and
astonishment of heart:
[29] And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and
thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and
spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. [30] Thou shalt betroth a
wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and
thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not
gather the grapes thereof. [31] Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes,
and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away
from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be
given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. [32] Thy
sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes
shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there
shall be no might in thine hand. [33] The fruit of thy land, and all thy
labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be
only oppressed and crushed alway: [34] So that thou shalt be mad for the
sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
[35] The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore
botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy
head.
[36] The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over
thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and
there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. [37] And thou shalt
become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither
the LORD shall lead thee. [38] Thou shalt carry much seed out into the
field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
[39] Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of
the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. [40] Thou
shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint
thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. [41] Thou shalt
beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go
into captivity.
[42] All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. [43] The
stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou
shalt come down very low.
[44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the
head, and thou shalt be the tail.
[45] Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee,
and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not
unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his
statutes which he commanded thee:
[46] And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy
seed for ever.
[47] Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with
gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; [48] Therefore shalt
thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger,
and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall
put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
[49] The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of
the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt
not understand;
[50] A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of
the old, nor shew favour to the young: [51] And he shall eat the fruit of
thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also
shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy
kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.
[52] And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced
walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he
shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD
thy God hath given thee.
[53] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons
and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege,
and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: [54] So
that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be
evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the
remnant of his children which he shall leave: [55] So that he will not give
to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he
hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine
enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. [56] The tender and delicate
woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon
the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward
the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
[57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and
toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want
of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy
shall distress thee in thy gates.
[58] If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are
written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name,
THE LORD THY GOD;
[59] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy
seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and
of long continuance.
[60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou
wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. [61] Also every sickness,
and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will
the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. [62] And ye shall be
left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude;
because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
[63] And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do
you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy
you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
[64] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of
the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which
neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. [65] And
among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy
foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and
failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: [66] And thy life shall hang in doubt
before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none
assurance of thy life: [67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it
were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the
fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine
eyes which thou shalt see. [68] And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt
again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it
no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and
bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
