all
the
days

woman
thou dost
betroth, and another man doth

hand is
not
to
God!

be
given unto

doth
cause
thee to
go

not
known,
thou and
thy fathers ,

hast
served
there other gods, wood and stone ;

LORD
shall
bring
thee, and thy king which
thou shalt
set
over thee, unto a nation which neither
thou nor

been
for
an astonishment, for
a simile
, and for
a byword among all the
peoples
whither Jehovah
doth
lead thee.

become
an astonishment, a proverb
, and a byword ,
among all nations
whither the

Much seed thou
dost
take
out into the field, and little
thou
dost
gather in ,
for the locust doth
consume it ;

shalt
carry
much seed out into the field, and shalt
gather but
little
in ;
for the locust shall

for
the worm
doth
consume
it
;

plant vineyards
, and dress
them
, but

neither
drink of
the
wine,
nor gather the grapes
; for
the
worms
shall
eat
them.
olives
are
to
thee
in
all thy border
, and
oil
thou dost
not pour
out,
for thine olive doth
fall
off
.
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
.
`
Sons and daughters thou
dost
beget
, and
they
are
not with
thee,
for they go into captivity ;

shalt
beget
sons and daughters, but
thou
shalt
not enjoy
them;

go into captivity .
all thy trees and the
fruit of thy ground
doth
the locust possess;
All thy trees and fruit of thy land
shall
the locust consume.
the sojourner
who
`
is '
in
thy
midst
goeth
up above thee very high ,
and thou goest
down very low ;
The stranger
that
is within
thee
shall
get
up above thee very high ;
and thou shalt
come
down very low .
he doth
lend `
to '
thee, and thou dost
not lend `
to '
him ;
he is
for
head, and thou art
for
tail.

lend to thee, and thou shalt
not lend to him :

be
the
head, and thou shalt
be
the
tail.

come
upon
thee
have
all these curses, and they
have
pursued
thee, and overtaken
thee, till thou art
destroyed ,
because thou hast
not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah
thy God, to keep His commands,
and His statutes ,
which he hath
commanded thee ;
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 :
and they have
been
on
thee for a sign and for a wonder, also
on
thy seed --
to
the
age
.
And they shall
be
upon
thee for a sign and for a wonder, and
upon
thy seed for
ever
.
`
Because that
thou hast
not served
Jehovah
thy God with joy
, and with gladness of heart, because
of
the abundance of all things --
Because thou servedst
not the
LORD
thy God with joyfulness
, and with gladness of heart, for
the abundance of all things ;
thou hast
served
thine enemies ,
whom
Jehovah
sendeth
against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack
of all things ;
and he hath
put a yoke of iron on
thy neck, till
He hath
destroyed thee.
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.
`Jehovah
doth
lift
up
against
thee
a nation ,
from afar
, from the end of the earth, as the eagle it
flieth; a nation whose tongue thou hast
not heard,
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;
a nation --
fierce
of countenance --
which accepteth
not the face
of the aged
, and
the young doth
not
favour;
A nation of fierce
countenance ,
which shall
not regard
the person
of the old
, nor
show
favor
to
the young :
and it
hath
eaten
the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground
, till
thou art
destroyed ;
which leaveth
not to
thee corn, new
wine, and
oil, increase of thine
oxen
, and
wealth
of thy flock
, till
it
hath
destroyed thee.
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.
`
And it
hath
laid
siege
to
thee in all thy gates, till
thy walls come down, the
high
and
the
fenced
ones
in
which
thou art
trusting
, in
all thy land ;
yea,
it
hath
laid
siege
to
thee in all thy gates ,
in
all thy land, which Jehovah
thy God hath given to
thee ;
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 .
and thou hast
eaten
the fruit of thy
body, flesh of thy sons and thy daughters (whom
Jehovah
thy God hath given to
thee )
, in the siege, and in the straitness with
which
thine enemies do
straiten
thee .
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 :
`
The man who
is tender in
thee
, and who
`is'
very delicate --
his eye is
evil against
his brother, and against
the wife of his bosom, and against
the remnant of his sons
whom
he leaveth,
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:
against
giving
to one
of them of the flesh of his sons
whom he eateth,
because he hath nothing left to
him ,
in the siege, and in the straitness with
which
thine enemy
doth
straiten
thee in all thy gates.
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.
`
The tender woman
in
thee,
and the
delicate, who
hath
not tried
the sole of her foot to
place
on
the ground because
of
delicateness and because
of
tenderness --
her eye is
evil against
the husband of her bosom, and against
her son, and against
her daughter,
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,
and against
her seed
which
cometh out from between her feet, even
against
her sons
whom
she doth
bear ,
for she doth
eat them for the
lacking
of all things in
secret,
in the siege and in
the
straitness with
which
thine enemy doth
straiten
thee within
thy gates.
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.
`
If thou dost
not observe to do all the words of this law which
are written in this book, to
fear this honoured
and fearful name --
Jehovah
thy God --
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 ;
then hath
Jehovah
made
wonderful
thy strokes
, and the strokes
of thy seed --
great strokes
, and stedfast
, and evil
sicknesses, and stedfast
.
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
.
`And
He hath
brought
back
on
thee all the diseases of Egypt, of
the
presence
of
which thou hast
been
afraid ,
and they have
cleaved
to
thee ;
Moreover
he will
bring
upon
thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast
afraid of;
and they shall
cleave
unto
thee .
also every sickness and every stroke
which is not written in the book of this law ;
Jehovah
doth
cause
them to
go
up
upon thee till
thou art
destroyed ,
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 .
and ye have
been
left with
few men
, instead
of
which
ye have
been
as stars of the
heavens
for multitude ,
because thou hast
not hearkened
to
the voice of Jehovah
thy God.
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.
`
And it hath
been
, as Jehovah
hath
rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you ,
so doth
Jehovah
rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay
you waste
; and ye have
been
pulled
away
from off the ground
whither thou art
going
in
to possess it ;
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 .
and Jehovah
hath
scattered
thee among all the
peoples
, from the end of the earth even unto the end
of
the
earth
; and thou
hast
served
there other gods which
thou
hast
not
known
, thou and
thy fathers --
wood and stone.
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.
`
And among those
nations thou dost
not
rest,
yea,
there
is
no resting-place
for
the sole of thy foot ,
and
Jehovah
hath
given
to
thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief
of soul;
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:
and thy life hath
been
hanging
in suspense
before thee ,
and thou hast
been
afraid
by
night
and
by
day, and dost
not
believe
in
thy life ;
And thy life shall
hang
in doubt
before thee ;
and thou shalt
fear
day and
night
, and shalt
have
none
assurance
of
thy life :
in the morning thou sayest
, O
that
it were evening
! and in
the
evening
thou sayest
, O
that
it were morning! from
the fear of thy
heart ,
with
which
thou art
afraid
, and from
the sight of thine eyes which thou seest
.
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
.
`
And Jehovah
hath
brought
thee back
to
Egypt with ships, by a
way of
which
I said
to
thee, Thou dost
not
add
any
more
to
see it ,
and ye have
sold yourselves
there
to
thine
enemies ,
for men-servants
and for
maid-servants
, and there
is
no buyer
. '
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
.
