Deuteronomy 28:2-14

2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God.

3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.1

6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

7Yhwh shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

8Yhwh shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee.2

9Yhwh shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of Yhwh thy God, and walk in his ways.

10And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Yhwh; and they shall be afraid of thee.

11And Yhwh shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Yhwh sware unto thy fathers to give thee.34

12Yhwh shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

13And Yhwh shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of Yhwh thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

14And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
