[As for] the prophet and the priests and the people, who shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house.

But they did not do them.

Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed. Let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed. Bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.

Behold I bring upon this city, and upon all the cities belonging to it, and upon the villages of it, all the doom which I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their neck, [that they might not] hearken to My commands.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] bring upon Judah and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.

Yet I sent to you My servants the prophets early in the morning; and I sent, saying, Do not do this abominable thing which I hate.

So My anger and My wrath fell [upon them], and was kindled in the gates of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became a desolation and a waste, as it is this day.

by provoking Me with the works of your hands, to burn incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you entered to dwell there, that you might be cut off, and that you might become a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

And have not ceased even to this day, and they have not kept to My ordinances, which I set before their fathers.

to destroy all the remnant that are in Egypt; and they shall fall by the sword, and by famine, and shall be consumed, small and great; and they shall be for a reproach, and for destruction, and for a curse.

And there shall not one be preserved of the remnant of Judah that sojourn in the land of Egypt, to return to the land of Judah, to which they hope in their hearts to return. They shall not return, but only they that escape.

But if you will not hearken to Me, nor obey these My ordinances,

But it shall come to pass, if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all His commandments, as many as I command you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

Cursed shall be your barns and your stores.

Cursed shall you be in your coming in, and cursed shall you be in your going out.

The Lord shall cause the pestilence to cleave to you, until He has consumed you off the land into which you go to inherit it.

And you shall have over your head a sky of brass, and the earth under you shall be iron.

The Lord shall give you up for slaughter before your enemies; you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth.

The Lord shall smite you with the botch of Egypt in the seat, and with a malignant scab, and itch, so that you can not be healed.

And you shall grope at midday, as a blind man gropes in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper.

Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your donkey shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper.

A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be perpetually injured and crushed.

The Lord shall smite you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

And there shall you be a wonder and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away.

You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it.

You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [yours], for they shall depart into captivity.

The stranger that is within you shall be lifted up, and you shall be brought down very low.

And all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and shall overtake you, until He has consumed you, and until He has destroyed you, because you did not hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commands and His statutes which He has commanded you.

because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.

The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand;

And it shall eat up the young of your livestock, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you grain, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it has destroyed you;

And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, all that He has given you, in your desperate straits and your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you.

so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in your desperate straits, and in your affliction, with which your enemies shall afflict you in all your cities.

and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the needs of all things, secretly in your desperate straits, and in your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities.

And the Lord shall bring upon you every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and everyone that is written in the book of this law, until He has destroyed you.

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 you shall be quickly removed from the land, into which you go to inherit it.

A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man, for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.
