Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 28 of Deuteronomy. The curses begin with a structure parallel to the blessings but describe disease, drought, defeat, and loss of productivity. The reversal of agricultural and social conditions shows that the promised land does not automatically guarantee prosperity. Israel’s continued presence in it is connected with covenant faithfulness.

Verflucht wird sein die Frucht deines Leibes, die Frucht deines Landes, die Frucht deiner Rinder und die Frucht deiner Schafe.
Maldito el fruto de tu vientre, y el fruto de tu tierra, y la cría de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas.
Le fruit de tes entrailles, le fruit de ton sol, les portées de ton gros et de ton menu bétail, toutes ces choses seront maudites.
Il frutto del tuo seno sarà maledetto, e il frutto della tua terra; i parti delle tue vacche, e le gregge delle tue pecore.
Maldito o fruto do teu ventre, e o fruto da tua terra, e as crias das tuas vacas, e das tuas ovelhas.
你身所生的,你地所產的,以及牛犢、羔羊,都必受詛咒。
