Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin,

"When the LORD brings you to the land that you are about to enter to inherit, repeat the blessings on Mount Gerizim and the curses on Mount Ebal.

All these curses will come upon you and will overwhelm you until you are exterminated, because you didn't obey the LORD your God to keep his commands and statutes, which he had commanded you.

These curses will serve as a sign and wonder for you and your descendants as long as you live."

"The LORD won't forgive such a person. Instead, the zealous anger of the LORD will blaze against him. All the curses that were written in this book will fall on him. Then the LORD will wipe out his memory from under heaven.

"When all these things happen to you both the blessings and the curses that I've presented to you and you take them seriously in all the nations where the LORD your God will deport you,

Then the LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate and persecute you."

The sin of their mouth is the word on their lips. They will be caught in their own conceit; for they speak curses and lies.

He loved to curse may his curses return upon him! He took no delight in blessing others so may blessings be far from him.

He wore curses like a garment may they enter his inner being like water and his bones like oil.

May those curses wrap around him like a garment, or like a belt that one always wears.

How terrible for me, my mother, that you gave birth to me, a man of strife and contention for the whole land! I've neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
