God’s Word Translation
Deuteronomy 28:2-14
2These are all the blessings that will come to you and stay close to you because you obey the Lord your God:
3You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
4You will be blessed. You will have children. Your land will have crops. Your animals will have offspring. Your cattle will have calves, and your flocks will have lambs and kids.
5The grain you harvest and the bread you bake will be blessed.
6You will be blessed when you come and blessed when you go.
7The Lord will defeat your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction but run away from you in seven directions.
8The Lord will bless your barns and everything you do. The Lord your God will bless you in the land that he is giving you.
9You will be the Lord’s holy people, as he promised you with an oath. He will do this if you obey the commands of the Lord your God and follow his directions.
10Then all the people in the world will see that you are the Lord’s people, and they will be afraid of you.
11The Lord will give you plenty of blessings: You will have many children. Your animals will have many offspring. Your soil will produce many crops in the land the Lord will give you, as he swore to your ancestors.
12The Lord will open the heavens, his rich storehouse, for you. He will send rain on your land at the right time and bless everything you do. You will be able to make loans to many nations but won’t need to borrow from any.
13The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom, if you faithfully obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today.
14Do everything I’m commanding you today. Never worship other gods or serve them.
