Context of Deuteronomy 7:11

9Know that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps his gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commands. 10But he directly pays back and destroys those who hate him. He will not hesitate to pay back directly the one who hates him. So keep the command — the statutes and ordinances — that I am giving you to follow today. 12“If you listen to and are careful to keep these ordinances, the Lord your God will keep his covenant loyalty with you, as he swore to your ancestors. 13He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will bless your offspring, and the produce of your land — your grain, new wine, and fresh oil — the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks, in the land he swore to your ancestors that he would give you.
