Deuteronomy 28:5-17

5Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.

6You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7“The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions.

8The Lord will grant you a blessing on your barns and on everything you do; he will bless you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

9The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he swore to you, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in his ways.

10Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you bear the Lord’s name, and they will stand in awe of you.

11The Lord will make you prosper abundantly with offspring, the offspring of your livestock, and your land’s produce in the land the Lord swore to your ancestors to give you.

12The Lord will open for you his abundant storehouse, the sky, to give your land rain in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.

13The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward if you listen to the Lord your God’s commands I am giving you today and are careful to follow them.

14Do not turn aside to the right or the left from all the things I am commanding you today, and do not follow other gods to worship them.

15“But if you do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all his commands and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overtake you:

16You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.

17Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
