28 “Now it shall come to pass, if you
diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all
His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God
will set you high above all nations of the earth.
2 And
all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the
voice of the Lord
your God:
3 “Blessed
shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be
in the country.
4 “Blessed
shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the
increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your
flocks.
5 “Blessed
shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 “Blessed
shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be
when you go out.
7 “The
Lord
will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face;
they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 “The
Lord
will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you
set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God
is giving you.
9 “The
Lord
will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if
you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10 Then
all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they
shall be afraid of you.
11 And
the Lord
will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of
your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to
your fathers to give you.
12 The
Lord
will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land
in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many
nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 And
the Lord
will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be
beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God,
which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
14 So
you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to
the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
