And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

Verse 23 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.

Dein Himmel, der über deinem Haupt ist, wird ehern sein und die Erde unter dir eisern.
Y tus cielos que están sobre tu cabeza, serán de metal; y la tierra que está debajo de ti, de hierro.
El cielo sobre tu cabeza será de bronce, y la tierra debajo de ti será de hierro.
Le ciel sur ta tête sera d'airain, et la terre sous toi sera de fer.
E il tuo cielo, che sarà sopra il tuo capo, sarà di rame; e la terra, che sarà sotto di te, sarà di ferro.
E os teus céus, que estão sobre a cabeça, serão de bronze; e a terra que está debaixo de ti, será de ferro.
你頭上的天要變成銅,下面的地要化為鐵。
