so what happens to us.. who for the sake of "HUMANITARIAN"
decided not to follow GOD's command and insisted on our
humanitarian values?
Deuteronomy 28
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 upon 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.
[a] 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 of the air and the
beasts of the earth, 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
man 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 ravish 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 fathers. There you will worship other
gods, gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become a thing of horror
and an object of scorn and ridicule to all the nations 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 alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and
higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 He will lend to you,
but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be
the tail.
45 All these curses will come upon 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 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 that 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
youso sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the
ground with the sole of her footwill begrudge the husband she
loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb
and the children she bears. For she intends to eat them secretly
during the siege and in the distress that your enemy will inflict
on you in 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 namethe 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 upon 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 godsgods
of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers 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.
in short... enough curses for you to regret for not following
GOD's teaching...
