15. 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: 16. Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the field. 17. Cursed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.

Not hearken. The word translated “hearken” includes more than simply hearing; it implies obedience as well. This is well illustrated by the words of Daniel, “hearken and do” (Dan. 9:19).
