Deuteronomy 28:13-14

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 ¹  commandments which I am urging ²  you today to be careful to do. 28:14 But you must not turn away from all the commandments I am giving ³  you today, to either the right or left, nor pursue other gods and worship ⁴  them.
