Read your own Bible, fundie...


   DT 28:15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not
carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all
these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

    DT 28:16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

    DT 28:17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

    DT 28:18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your
  land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

    DT 28:19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

    DT 28:20 The LORD will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in
everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden
ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.ü [21] The LORD
will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you
are entering to possess. [22] The LORD will strike you with wasting disease,
with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight
and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. [23] The sky over your
head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. [24] The LORD will turn
the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the
skies until you are destroyed.

    DT 28:25 The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You
will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you
will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. [26] Your
carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the
earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away. [27] The LORD will
afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the
itch, from which you cannot be cured. [28] The LORD will afflict you with
madness, blindness and confusion of mind. [29] At midday you will grope
about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything
you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to
rescue you.

    DT 28:30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will
take her and ravish her. You will build a house, but you will not live in
it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its
fruit. [31] Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat
none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be
returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue
them. [32] Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you
will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a
hand. [33] A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor
produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days.
[34] The sights you see will drive you mad. [35] The LORD will afflict your
knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the
soles of your feet to the top of your head.

    DT 28:36 The LORD will drive you and the king you set over you to a
nation unknown to you or your fathers. There you will worship other gods,
gods of wood and stone. [37] You will become a thing of horror and an object
of scorn and ridicule to all the nations where the LORD will drive you.

    DT 28:38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest
little, because locusts will devour it. [39] You will plant vineyards and
cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because
worms will eat them. [40] You will have olive trees throughout your country
but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. [41] You
will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will
go into captivity. [42] Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and
the crops of your land.

    DT 28:43 The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and
higher, but you will sink lower and lower. [44] He will lend to you, but you
will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.

    DT 28:45 All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and
overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your
God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. [46] They will be a
sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. [47] Because you did
not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity,
[48] therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will
serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on
your neck until he has destroyed you.

    DT 28:49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from
the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language
you will not understand, [50] a fierce-looking nation without respect for
the old or pity for the young. [51] They will devour the young of your
livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will
leave you no grain, new wine or oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs
of your flocks until you are ruined. [52] They will lay siege to all the
cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you
trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the
LORD your God is giving you.

    DT 28:53 Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you
during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons
and daughters the LORD your God has given you. [54] Even the most gentle and
sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the
wife he loves or his surviving children, [55] and he will not give to one of
them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he
has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the
siege of all your cities. [56] The most gentle and sensitive woman among
you--so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground
with the sole of her foot--will begrudge the husband she loves and her own
son or daughter [57] the afterbirth from her womb and the children she
bears. For she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the
distress that your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.

    DT 28:58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which
are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--
the LORD your God-- [59] the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your
descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering
illnesses. [60] He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you
dreaded, and they will cling to you. [61] The LORD will also bring on you
every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law,
until you are destroyed. [62] You who were as numerous as the stars in the
sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your
God. [63] Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in
number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted
from the land you are entering to possess.

    DT 28:64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end
of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods--gods of wood
and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. [65] Among those
nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot.
There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a
despairing heart. [66] You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread
both night and day, never sure of your life. [67] In the morning you will
say, "If only it were evening!" and in the evening, "If only it were
morning!"--because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights
that your eyes will see. [68] The LORD will send you back in ships to Egypt
on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer
yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one
will buy you.
