Bible Verses About Curse

Therefore you are to listen to what ADONAI your God says and obey his mitzvot and laws, which I am giving you today."

That same day Moshe commissioned the people as follows:

"These are the ones who are to stand on Mount G'rizim and bless the people after you have crossed the Yarden: Shim'on, Levi, Y'hudah, Yissakhar, Yosef and Binyamin;

while these are to stand on Mount 'Eival for the curse: Re'uven, Gad, Asher, Z'vulun, Dan and Naftali.

The L'vi'im, speaking loudly, will proclaim to every man of Isra'el:

"'A curse on anyone who makes a carved or metal image, something ADONAI detests, the handiwork of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret!'All the people are to respond by saying, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who dishonors his father or mother.'All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who moves his neighbor's boundary marker.' All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who causes a blind person to lose his way on the road.'All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who has sexual relations with his father's wife, because he has violated his father's rights.'All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who has sexual relations with any kind of animal.' All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who has sexual relations with his sister, no matter whether she is the daughter of his father or of his mother.'All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

"'A curse on anyone who has sexual relations with his mother-in-law.' All the people are to say, 'Amen!'

Then Y'hoshua built an altar to ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, on Mount 'Eival,

as Moshe the servant of ADONAI had ordered the people of Isra'el to do (this is written in the book of the Torah of Moshe), an altar of uncut stones that no one had touched with an iron tool. On it they offered burnt offerings to ADONAI and sacrificed peace offerings.

He wrote there on the stones a copy of the Torah of Moshe, inscribing it in the presence of the people of Isra'el.

Then all Isra'el, including their leaders, officials and judges, stood on either side of the ark in front of the cohanim, who were L'vi'im and who carried the ark for the covenant of ADONAI. The foreigners were there along with the citizens. Half of the people were in front of Mount G'rizim and half of them in front of Mount 'Eival, as Moshe the servant of ADONAI had ordered them earlier in connection with blessing the people of Isra'el.

After this, he read all the words of the Torah, the blessing and the curse, according to everything written in the book of the Torah.
