Deuteronomy 28

Wow. That is all I can say after reading this chapter. The first paragraph's blessings, which the Israelites will enjoy if they obey God's commands, are very pleasant to read - but then it turns to horror. The rest of the section, which is quite long, contains vivid and terrifying descriptions of what would happen if they turned from God and His laws. I suspect, from my memory of later Israelite history, that some of these predictions came true. I will be on the lookout for fulfillment of them later in the Old Testament, and I may even go do some reading up on that now.
