WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.060 Chapter 28, And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the 00:06.060 --> 00:10.600 voice of the Lord thy God, to observe, and to do all his commandments which I 00:10.600 --> 00:15.060 command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all 00:15.060 --> 00:16.140 nations of the earth. 00:16.620 --> 00:21.580 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt 00:21.580 --> 00:23.820 hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 00:25.020 --> 00:29.920 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 00:30.640 --> 00:35.280 Blessed shalt be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit 00:35.280 --> 00:39.900 of thy cattle, the increase of thy kind, and the flocks of thy sheep. 00:40.600 --> 00:43.300 Blessed shalt be thy basket and thy store. 00:44.140 --> 00:48.640 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest 00:48.640 --> 00:49.000 out. 00:49.620 --> 00:54.680 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before 00:54.680 --> 00:55.260 thy face. 00:55.260 --> 01:00.300 They shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 01:00.820 --> 01:05.760 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that 01:05.760 --> 01:07.340 thou settest thine hand unto. 01:08.400 --> 01:12.240 And he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 01:12.840 --> 01:18.000 The Lord shall establish thee and holy people unto himself, as he has sworn unto 01:18.000 --> 01:23.600 thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways. 01:24.360 --> 01:29.500 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord, 01:29.700 --> 01:31.320 and they shall be afraid of thee. 01:31.960 --> 01:36.380 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, 01:36.640 --> 01:39.740 and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, 01:40.100 --> 01:43.520 in the land which the Lord swear unto thy fathers to give thee. 01:44.200 --> 01:49.160 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto 01:49.160 --> 01:53.340 thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand. 01:53.680 --> 01:57.520 And thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 01:58.220 --> 02:02.760 And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail, and thou shalt be above 02:02.760 --> 02:07.820 only, and thou shalt not be beneath, if that thou hearken unto the commandments 02:07.820 --> 02:12.980 of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day to observe and to do them. 02:13.720 --> 02:18.260 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, 02:18.260 --> 02:22.720 to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 02:24.300 --> 02:28.860 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy 02:28.860 --> 02:33.920 God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee 02:33.920 --> 02:39.640 this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. 02:40.780 --> 02:44.660 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 02:45.320 --> 02:48.040 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 02:49.060 --> 02:54.400 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of 02:54.400 --> 02:57.200 thy kind, and the flocks of thy sheep. 02:57.900 --> 03:03.700 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest 03:03.700 --> 03:04.000 out. 03:04.620 --> 03:10.240 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou 03:10.240 --> 03:14.080 settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed. 03:14.080 --> 03:19.480 And until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, 03:19.480 --> 03:21.080 whereby thou hast forsaken me. 03:21.760 --> 03:26.340 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee 03:26.340 --> 03:29.200 from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 03:29.700 --> 03:33.500 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, 03:33.840 --> 03:38.080 and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, 03:38.540 --> 03:43.120 and with blasting, and with mildew, and they shall pursue thee until thou 03:43.120 --> 03:43.580 perish. 03:45.160 --> 03:50.320 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee 03:50.320 --> 03:51.220 shall be iron. 03:51.960 --> 03:57.080 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust, from heaven shall it come 03:57.080 --> 03:59.680 down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 04:00.800 --> 04:05.460 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies, thou shalt go out 04:05.460 --> 04:11.340 one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be removed into all 04:11.340 --> 04:12.660 the kingdoms of the earth. 04:13.420 --> 04:18.940 And thy carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of 04:18.940 --> 04:21.580 the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 04:22.440 --> 04:28.080 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emeralds, and with the 04:28.080 --> 04:32.360 scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 04:32.360 --> 04:38.680 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart. 04:39.320 --> 04:43.280 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, 04:43.520 --> 04:48.260 and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways, and thou shalt be only oppressed and 04:48.260 --> 04:51.280 spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 04:52.180 --> 04:55.700 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. 04:56.280 --> 05:00.040 Thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein. 05:00.040 --> 05:04.740 Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 05:05.460 --> 05:10.540 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof. 05:11.060 --> 05:16.260 Thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be 05:16.260 --> 05:17.060 restored to thee. 05:17.720 --> 05:21.880 Thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to 05:21.880 --> 05:22.520 rescue them. 05:22.520 --> 05:28.540 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall 05:28.540 --> 05:34.540 look and fail with longing for them all the day long, and there shall be no might 05:34.540 --> 05:35.560 in thine hand. 05:36.120 --> 05:41.360 The fruit of thy land and all thy labors shall a nation which thou knowest not eat 05:41.360 --> 05:45.520 up, and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed always. 05:46.720 --> 05:51.040 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see, 05:51.040 --> 05:57.480 the Lord shall smite thee in the knees and in the legs with a sore botch that cannot 05:57.480 --> 06:00.960 be healed from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 06:02.880 --> 06:07.580 The Lord shall bring thee and thy king which thou shalt set over thee unto a 06:07.580 --> 06:12.560 nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, and there shalt thou serve 06:12.560 --> 06:19.260 other gods, wood and stone, and thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb and a 06:19.260 --> 06:22.600 byword among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. 06:23.440 --> 06:28.120 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in, 06:28.820 --> 06:30.360 for the locusts shall consume it. 06:31.060 --> 06:35.560 Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine nor 06:35.560 --> 06:38.240 gather the grapes, for the worms shall eat them. 06:38.240 --> 06:43.600 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint 06:43.600 --> 06:47.280 thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 06:48.420 --> 06:52.340 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them, 06:52.760 --> 06:54.240 for they shall go into captivity. 06:55.260 --> 06:59.220 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locusts consume. 07:00.260 --> 07:04.960 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt 07:04.960 --> 07:06.240 come down very low. 07:06.760 --> 07:09.880 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him. 07:10.680 --> 07:13.200 He shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 07:14.300 --> 07:19.160 Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake 07:19.160 --> 07:24.440 thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkenest not unto the voice of the Lord 07:24.440 --> 07:29.180 thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee. 07:29.860 --> 07:34.820 And they shall be upon thee for a sign, and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for 07:34.820 --> 07:35.100 ever. 07:35.760 --> 07:41.020 Because thou servest not the Lord thy God with joyfulness and with gladness of 07:41.020 --> 07:46.180 heart, for the abundance of all things, therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, 07:46.480 --> 07:51.700 which the Lord shall send against thee in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, 07:52.000 --> 07:53.580 and in want of all things. 07:54.320 --> 07:58.500 And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 07:58.500 --> 08:03.180 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, 08:03.480 --> 08:08.260 as swift as the eagle flyeth, a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand, 08:08.860 --> 08:12.980 a nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the 08:12.980 --> 08:15.080 old, nor show favor to the young. 08:15.780 --> 08:19.860 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be 08:19.860 --> 08:25.800 destroyed, which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase 08:25.800 --> 08:30.120 of thy kind, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 08:31.000 --> 08:35.640 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls 08:35.640 --> 08:40.120 come down, wherein thou trustest, throughout all thy land. 08:40.560 --> 08:44.120 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, throughout all thy land, 08:44.560 --> 08:46.640 which the Lord thy God hath given thee. 08:46.640 --> 08:52.020 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons, and of thy 08:52.020 --> 08:56.480 daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the 08:56.480 --> 08:59.660 straightness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee. 09:00.480 --> 09:05.660 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil 09:05.660 --> 09:10.940 toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his 09:10.940 --> 09:12.400 children which he shall leave. 09:13.000 --> 09:17.720 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall 09:17.720 --> 09:22.800 eat, because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straightness, 09:23.400 --> 09:26.580 wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 09:27.280 --> 09:31.380 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole 09:31.380 --> 09:36.380 of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall 09:36.380 --> 09:41.400 be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her 09:41.400 --> 09:45.600 daughter, and toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, 09:45.860 --> 09:48.260 and toward her children which she shall bear. 09:49.040 --> 09:53.380 For she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege, and 09:53.380 --> 09:57.340 straightness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in thy gates. 09:58.420 --> 10:03.140 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this 10:03.140 --> 10:09.840 book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, the Lord thy God, 10:11.120 --> 10:15.300 then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed 10:15.300 --> 10:20.460 even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, 10:20.780 --> 10:22.160 and of long continuance. 10:23.180 --> 10:28.400 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid 10:28.400 --> 10:30.640 of, and they shall cleave unto thee. 10:31.160 --> 10:35.460 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in the book of this 10:35.460 --> 10:39.820 law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 10:40.560 --> 10:45.100 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for 10:45.100 --> 10:49.880 multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God. 10:50.560 --> 10:55.200 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, 10:55.600 --> 11:00.140 and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, 11:00.420 --> 11:01.680 and to bring you to naught. 11:02.420 --> 11:06.180 And ye shall be plucked from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 11:06.580 --> 11:11.040 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even 11:11.040 --> 11:16.280 unto the other, and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy 11:16.280 --> 11:19.400 fathers have known, even wood and stone. 11:20.080 --> 11:25.420 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot 11:25.420 --> 11:30.640 have rest, but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of 11:30.640 --> 11:32.720 eyes, and sorrow of mind. 11:33.860 --> 11:38.860 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shalt fear day and night, 11:39.040 --> 11:41.340 and shalt have none assurance of thy life. 11:42.220 --> 11:45.840 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! 11:46.620 --> 11:49.740 And at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! 11:49.740 --> 11:54.800 For the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine 11:54.800 --> 11:56.680 eyes, which thou shalt see. 11:57.360 --> 12:02.260 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again, with ships, by the way whereof I 12:02.260 --> 12:03.020 spake unto thee. 12:03.660 --> 12:08.060 Thou shalt see it no more again, and there ye shall be sold unto your 12:08.060 --> 12:12.740 enemies, for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.
