You must not seek peace and prosperity for them through all the ages to come.

When you approach a city to wage war against it, offer it terms of peace.

Then I sent messengers from the Kedemoth ¹  Desert to King Sihon of Heshbon with an offer of peace:

If it does not accept terms of peace but makes war with you, then you are to lay siege to it.

When such a person ¹  hears the words of this oath he secretly ²  blesses himself ³  and says, “I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.” ⁴  This will destroy ⁵  the watered ground with the parched. ⁶ 

Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the Lord your God.

If it accepts your terms ¹  and submits to you, all the people found in it will become your slaves. ² 

Israel lives in safety, the fountain of Jacob is quite secure, ¹  in a land of grain and new wine; indeed, its heavens ²  rain down dew. ³ 

Among those nations you will have no rest nor will there be a place of peaceful rest for the soles of your feet, for there the Lord will give you an anxious heart, failing eyesight, and a spirit of despair.
