Malachi 2:2 If
ye will not hear, and
if ye will not lay [
it] to heart,
to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you,
and I will curse your blessings: yea,
I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay [
it] to heart.
Deuteronomy 28:15-
19 But it shall come to pass,
if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that
all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: ... Cursed [
shalt] thou [
be] when thou comest in, and cursed [
shalt] thou [
be] when thou goest out.
Joshua 7:12-
13 Therefore
the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [
but] turned [
their] backs before their enemies, because
they were accursed:
neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. ... Up,
sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [
There is]
an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye
take away the accursed thing from among you.
Joshua 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
Isaiah 43:28 Therefore
I have profaned the
princes of the sanctuary,
and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
Haggai 1:6-
11 Ye
have sown much, and bring in little; ye
eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [
to put it] into a bag
with holes. ... And
I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon [
that] which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and
upon all the labour of the hands.
Haggai 2:14-
17 Then answered Haggai, and said,
So [is] this people, and so [
is] this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so [
is] every work of their hands;
and that which they offer there [
is] unclean. ... I smote you
with blasting and with mildew and
with hail in all the labours of your hands;
yet ye [
turned] not to me, saith the LORD.
