All these blesings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the LORD your God. Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country…Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out…And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the LORD shall make you the head and not the tail.
But it shall come about, if you will not obey the LORD your God…that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl…Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out…The alien who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, but you shall go down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. (Deuteronomy 28:2-3,5-6,12-13,15-17,19,43-44).
