Deuteronomy chapter 28
And it MUST occur that if you will without fail listen to the voice of
Jevovah your God by being careful to do all his commandments that I am
commanding you today, Jehovah your God will certainly put you high above
all other nations of the earth. And all the blessings MUST come upon you
and overtake you, because you keep listening to the voice of Jehovah
your God. Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in
the field. Blessed be the fruit of your belly, and the fruit of the
ground, and the fruit of your domestic beast, the young of your cattle
and the progeny of your flock. Blessed will be your basket and kneeding
trough. Blessed will you be when you come in and blessed tou will be
when you go out. Jehova will cause your enemies who rise up against you
to be defeated before you. By one way they will come before you, but by
seven ways they will flee before you. Jehovah will decre for you the
blessing on your stores of supply and every undertaking of yours, and he
will certainly bless you in the land that Jehovah your God is giving
you. Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to himself, Just as he
swore to you, because you continue to keep the commandments of Jehovah
your God, and you have walked in his ways. And the peoples of the earth
will have to see that Jehovahs name has been called upon by you, and
they will indeed be afraid of you. Jehovah will also make you overflow
indeed with prosperity in the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your
domestic animals and the fruitage of your ground that Jehovah swore to
your forefathers to give you. Jehovah will open up for you his good
storehouse, the heavens to give the rain in its season and to bles every
deed of your hand, and you will CERTAINLY lend to many nations, while
you yourself will not borrow. And Jehovah will indeed put you at the
head and not at the tail, and you MUST come to be only on top, and you
will not come to be on the bottom, because you keep obeying the
commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today to
observe and to do. And you must not turn aside from all the words that I
am commanding you today, to the right or to the left,to walk after other
gods to serve them.
And it MUST occur that if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah
your God by taking care to do all his commandments and statutes that I
am commanding you today, all these maledictions MUST come upon you and
overtake you:Cursed will you be in the city and cursed will be you in
the field. Cursed be your basket and your kneeding trough. Cursed will
be the fruit of your belly and the fruitage of your ground, the young of
your cattle and the progeny of your flock. Cursed will you be when you
come in, and cursed you will be when you go out. Jehovah will send upon
you the curse, confusion, and rebuke in every undertaking of yours that
you try to carry out, until you have been annihilated and have perished
in a hurry, because of the badness of your practices in that you have
forsaken me. Jehovah will cause pestilence to cling to you until he has
exterminated you from off the ground to which you are going to take
possession of it. Jehovah will strike you with tuberculosis and burning
fever and inflammmanation and feverish heat and the sword and scorching
and mildew, and they will certainly pursue you until you have perished.
Your skys that are over your head must also become copper, and the earth
that is beneath you iron. Jehovah will give powder and dust as the rain
of your land. From the heavens it will come down upon you until you have
been annihilated. Jehovah will cause you to be defeated before your
enemies. By one way you will go out against them, but by sven ways you
will flee before them: and you must become a frightful object to all the
earths kingdoms.And your dead body must become food for every flying
creatur eof the heavens and to the beasts of the field,with no one to
make them tremble. Jehovah will strike you with the boil of egypt and
piles and eczema and skin eruption from which you will not be able to be
healed. Jehovah will strike you with madness and loss of sight and
bewilderment of heart. And you will indeed be one who gropes about at
midday, just as a blind man gropes about in the gloom, and you will not
make your ways successful,and you must become only one who is always
defrauded and robbed, with no one to save you. You will become engaged
to a woman, but another man will rape her. You will build a house but
you will not dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will noy
begin to use it. Your bull slaughtered there before your eyes- but you
will not eat any of it. Your ass taken in robbery before your face- but
it will not return to you. Your sheep given to your enemies- but you
will have no savior. Your sons and daughters given to other people and
your eyes looking on and yearning for them always but your hands will be
without power. The fruitage of your ground and all your production a
people will eat whom you have not known, and you must be the one who is
defrauded and crushed always. And you will certainly become maddened at
the sight your eyes will see. Jehova will strike you with a malignanat
boil upon both knees and both legs from which you will not be able to be
healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. Jehovah
will march you and your king whom you will set up over you a nation whom
you have not known, ...... well you get the idea.

God is Love? Happpy happy joy joy? No worries? touchey feely? True
unless you dont play by his rules. He doesent just ignore you but has
been known to actively punish wrongdoers. Safety tip from Rambill

Rambill, glad you are still at it my friend. I have to say I admire your
determination. Even if I disagree with your theology, you have been
doin' your homework. Have a great holiday season. Everyone have a great
holiday season -WHATEVER faith you may be. Blessed be )0(

I guess you could say that I "interpete" the Bible literally. I read
what it says and go with it. dont really have a favorite version of the
Bible, I usually read the KJV, The New world translation, and a 1611
version old KJV.
