20 Bible Verses about Blessing And Curse

Today I put before you a blessing and a curse:

The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day:

Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin; And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.

Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.
