Curses
Start with Genesis 27:29, where the Bible uses the word curses in a real sentence: “Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow…” The rest of this list stays on that same word so a family can hear it more than once.

“Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you.””
