Deuteronomy 28:2-14

2and all these blessingsH1293 shall comeH935 upon thee, and overtakeH5381 thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah thy GodH430. 3BlessedH1288 shalt thou be in the cityH5892, and blessedH1288 shalt thou be in the fieldH7704. 4BlessedH1288 shall be the fruitH6529 of thy body, and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, and the fruitH6529 of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattleH929, and the youngH6251 of thy flockH6629. 5BlessedH1288 shall be thy basketH2935 and thy kneading-trough. 6BlessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessedH1288 shalt thou be when thou goest out.

7Jehovah will cause thine enemiesH341 that riseH6965 up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall comeH3318 out against thee oneH259 wayH1870, and shall fleeH5127 before thee sevenH7651 waysH1870. 8Jehovah will commandH6680 the blessingH1293 upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou puttest thy handH3027 unto; and he will blessH1288 thee in the landH776 which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee. 9Jehovah will establishH6965 thee for a holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto himself, as he hath swornH7650 unto thee; if thou shalt keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah thy GodH430, and walkH1980 in his waysH1870. 10And all the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 shall seeH7200 that thou art calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of Jehovah; and they shall be afraidH3372 of thee. 11And Jehovah will makeH5414 thee plenteous for goodH2896, in the fruitH6529 of thy body, and in the fruitH6529 of thy cattleH929, and in the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, in the landH127 which Jehovah sware unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee. 12Jehovah will openH6605 unto thee his goodH2896 treasureH214 the heavensH8064, to giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy landH776 in its season, and to blessH1288 all the workH4639 of thy handH3027: and thou shalt lend unto manyH7227 nationsH1471, and thou shalt not borrow. 13And Jehovah will makeH5414 thee the headH7218, and not the tailH2180; and thou shalt beH1961 above onlyH7535, and thou shalt not beH1961 beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah thy GodH430, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to observeH8104 and to do them, 14and shalt not turnH5493 asideH5493 from any of the wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 you this dayH3117, to the rightH3225 handH3225, or to the left, to go after otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them.
