We can be cursed by the Lord for disobedience.
We
are warned if we don’t follow the law.
If
we or our church turns away from God, and listen to a man as a leader,
consultant, author of a commentary, or one who calls himself an expert we will
be cursed.
If we don't follow Gods commandment's He will curse us.
If we don't follow Gods commandment's He will curse us.
Jeremiah
17;5-8
This
is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who
draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord. That
person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when
it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land
where no one lives. “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose
confidence is in him.
Genesis
3;17
To
Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree
about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed
is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.

Curses
for Disobedience
15 However,
if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his
commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will
come on you and overtake you:
16 You
will be cursed in the city and cursed in the
country.
17 Your
basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18 The
fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land,
and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19 You
will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you
go out.
20 The
Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything
you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because
of the evil you have done in forsaking him. 21 The Lord will plague you
with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to
possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and
inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will
plague you until you perish. 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the
ground beneath you iron. 24 The Lord will turn the rain of your country
into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
25 The
Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them
from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of
horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26 Your carcasses will be food for
all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them
away. 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with
tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured.
28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind.
29 At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You
will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed
and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
30 You
will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape
her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a
vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox will
be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will
be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given
to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters
will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for
them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not
know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but
cruel oppression all your days. 34 The sights you see will drive you mad.
35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that
cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 The
Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or
your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.
37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule
among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
38 You
will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts
will devour it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you
will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use
the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41 You will have sons and
daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity.
42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your
land.
43 The
foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you
will sink lower and lower. 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend
to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45 All
these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you
are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the
commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to
you and your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord
your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in
hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies
the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has
destroyed you.
49 The
Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth,
like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand,
50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the
young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of
your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or
olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are
ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land
until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege
all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.
53 Because
of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat
the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God
has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will
have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving
children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his
children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The
most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she
would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge
the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from
her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat
them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during
the siege of your cities.
58 If
you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in
this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 59 the
Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged
disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring on you all
the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The
Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in
this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62 You who were as numerous
as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey
the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and
increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be
uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
64 Then
the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the
other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither
you nor your ancestors have known. 65 Among those nations you will find no
repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give
you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart.
66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and
day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, “If only it
were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the
terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see.
68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you
should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your
enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.
