Deuteronomy 8:20

8:20 Just like the nations the Lord is about to destroy from your sight, so he will do to you ¹  because you would not obey him. ² 

Deuteronomy 7:12

Promises of Good for Covenant Obedience

7:12 If you obey these ordinances and are careful to do them, the Lord your God will faithfully keep covenant with you ³  as he promised ⁴  your ancestors.

[8:20]  ¹ tn Heb “so you will perish.”

[8:20]  ² tn Heb “listen to the voice of the Lord your God.” The pronoun has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons to avoid redundancy.

[7:12]  ³ tn Heb “will keep with you the covenant and loyalty.” On the construction used here, see v. 9.

[7:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “which he swore on oath.” The relative pronoun modifies “covenant,” so one could translate “will keep faithfully the covenant (or promise) he made on oath to your ancestors.”
