Deuteronomy 28:1-14

NSB(i) 1 »Carefully obey Jehovah your God. Faithfully follow all his commandments that I give you today. If you do this Jehovah your God will place you high above all the other nations in the world. 2 »These are all the blessings that will come to you and stay close to you because you obey Jehovah your God: 3 »Jehovah will bless your towns and your fields. 4 »Jehovah will bless you with many children, with abundant crops, and with many cattle and sheep. 5 »Jehovah will bless your grain crops and the food you prepare from them. 6 »Jehovah will make you successful in your daily work. 7 »Jehovah will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you: they shall come out against you one-way, and shall flee before you seven ways. 8 »Jehovah will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land Jehovah your God gives you. 9 »Jehovah will establish you as a holy people to himself. He swore this to you, if you obey the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in His ways. 10 »All the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Jehovah, and they will be afraid of you. 11 »Jehovah will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your animals and in the produce of your ground, the land that Jehovah swore to your fathers to give you. 12 »Jehovah will open for you his good storehouse. The skies will give rain to your land in due season. It will bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. 13 »Jehovah will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath. If you listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully, 14 and do not turn aside from any of the words I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
