If you are willing and obedient,
you
will eat the good things of the land;
but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.”

Yes.
God can choose to withhold his blessings (which feels like a curse) or
actually affect the outcome to cause damage.
He’s God. He can do what he
wants. His goal, though, is
obedience. He wants to change the
behavior and get the attention of the ones he curses so that they remember he
is God.
