DEUTERONOMY 28:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 1

“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:”

Curses pursue disobedience as blessings pursue obedience.
