And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.
And a curse, if you will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be a cursed thing like it: but you shall completely detest it, and you shall completely abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
And you, be sure to keep yourselves from the accursed thing, so that you do not make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow: for thus says the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Israel: you can not stand before your enemies, until you take away the accursed thing from among you.
