Punishment for Disobedience
14 r“But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments,
17 nThe Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out his word,
which he commanded long ago;
he has thrown down without pity;
he has made the enemy orejoice over you
and exalted the might of your foes.
11 All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, refusing to obey your voice. And rthe curse and oath that are written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.
13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord our God, turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth.
2 rIf you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, sI have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.
