Deuteronomy 7:8-18

8but because Jehovah loveth you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he sware unto your fathersH1, hath Jehovah broughtH3318 you out with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondage, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that Jehovah thy GodH430, he is GodH430, the faithfulH539 GodH430, who keepeth covenantH1285 and lovingkindness with them that loveH157 him and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755, 10and repayeth them that hateH8130 him to their faceH6440, to destroyH6 them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repayH7999 him to his faceH6440. 11Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 the commandmentH4687, and the statutesH2706, and the ordinancesH4941, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to do them.

12And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these ordinancesH4941, and keepH8104 and do them, that Jehovah thy GodH430 will keepH8104 with thee the covenantH1285 and the lovingkindness which he sware unto thy fathersH1: 13and he will loveH157 thee, and blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thee; he will also blessH1288 the fruitH6529 of thy body and the fruitH6529 of thy groundH127, thy grainH1715 and thy newH8492 wineH8492 and thine oilH3323, the increaseH7235 of thy cattle and the youngH6251 of thy flockH6629, in the landH127 which he sware unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee. 14Thou shalt beH1961 blessedH1288 above all peoplesH5971: there shall not beH1961 male or female barrenH6135 among you, or among your cattleH929. 15And Jehovah will take awayH5493 from thee all sicknessH2483; and none of the evilH7451 diseases of EgyptH4714, which thou knowest, will he putH5414 upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hateH8130 thee. 16And thou shalt consumeH398 all the peoplesH5971 that Jehovah thy GodH430 shall deliver unto thee; thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 them: neither shalt thou serveH5647 their godsH430; for that will be a snareH4170 unto thee.

17If thou shalt sayH559 in thy heartH3824, These nationsH1471 are moreH4480 than I; howH349 can I dispossessH3423 them? 18thou shalt not be afraidH3372 of them: thou shalt well rememberH2142 what Jehovah thy GodH430 did unto PharaohH6547, and unto all EgyptH4714;
