16 then I, for my part, shall do the following to YOU, and in punishment I shall certainly bring upon YOU disturbance with tuberculosis+ and burning fever, causing the eyes to fail+ and making the soul pine away.+ And YOU will simply sow YOUR seed for nothing, as YOUR enemies will certainly eat it up.+

11 And all those of Israel have overstepped your law, and there has been a turning aside by not obeying your voice,+ so that you poured out upon us the curse and the sworn oath+ that is written in the law of Moses the servant of the [true] God, for we have sinned against Him.*

2 If YOU will not listen,+ and if YOU will not lay [it] to heart+ to give glory to my name,”+ Jehovah of armies has said, “I shall also certainly send upon YOU the curse,+ and I will curse YOUR blessings.+ Yes, I have even cursed the [blessing],* because YOU are not laying [it] to heart.”

13 Christ by purchase+ released+ us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse+ instead of us, because it is written: “Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake.”*+
