15 ^x“But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.

22 The Lord will strike you with ^bwasting disease and with fever, inflammation and fiery heat, and with drought¹ and with ^cblight and with mildew. They shall pursue you until you perish. 23 And the heavens over your head shall be ^dbronze, and the earth under you shall be iron. 24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder. From heaven dust shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
