Deuteronomy 28:2-15
28:2 All these blessings will come to you in abundance
if you obey the
Lord your God:
28:3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.
28:4 Your children
will be blessed, as well as the produce of your soil, the offspring of your livestock, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
28:5 Your basket and your mixing bowl will be blessed.
28:6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
28:7 The
Lord will cause your enemies who attack

28:9 The
Lord will designate you as his holy people just as he promised you, if you keep his commandments
and obey him.
28:10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you belong to the
Lord, and they will respect you.
28:11 The
Lord will greatly multiply your children,
the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he

28:12 The
Lord will open for you his good treasure house, the heavens, to give you rain for the land in its season and to bless all you do;
you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow from any.
28:13 The
Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always end up at the top and not at the bottom, if you obey his
commandments which I am urging

28:14 But you must not turn away from all the commandments I am giving
you today, to either the right or left, nor pursue other gods and worship
them.
