21 "'Cursed be he who lies with any kind of beast.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
22 "'Cursed be he who lies with his sister, whether the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
23 "'Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
24 "'Cursed be he who slays his neighbor in secret.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
25 "'Cursed be he who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
26 "'Cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
These curses simply remind us that when we don't do the best we know how, our conscience will accuse us. As we become more spiritually enlightened, our conscience becomes stronger. If we are to have peace of mind, we must heed its voice.
