The Curses of the Lord
If you won’t obey the Lord by observing all his commandments, then the following curses shall come upon you. May the Lord strike you with hemorrhoids, scabs, and the itch for which there is no cure. May the Lord strike you with madness, blindness and stupefaction; you will be oppressed and robbed, day in, day out, with no-one to save you. Your fiancée will be raped and your donkey will be stolen. May the Lord strike you on the knee and leg with severe boils, which will spread from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. May the Lord give you to another nation where you will become a horror, a byword, and an object- lesson to the people there. Your sons and daughters will be captured, and your fruit and vegetables will be infected with the mole-cricket. Or perhaps another nation will swoop upon you like a vulture, and will besiege your towns until you eat your own children, the flesh of your sons and daughters. And even the more refined man will refuse to share the child-meat he is eating with his remaining family. The Lord will bring upon you sickness and plague of every kind, even those not recorded in this book of law, until you are destroyed. Just as the Lord took delight in you, so now it will be his delight to ruin and exterminate you.
