Deuteronomy 7:6-15

6For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 thee to be a specialH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 7YhwhH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971: 8But because YhwhH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath YhwhH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. 9KnowH3045 therefore that YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, he is GodH430, the faithfulH539 GodH410, which keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with them that loveH157 him and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755; 10And repayethH7999 them that hateH8130 him to their faceH6440, to destroyH6 them: he will not be slackH309 to him that hatethH8130 him, he will repayH7999 him to his faceH6440. 11Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687, and the statutesH2706, and the judgmentsH4941, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to doH6213 them.

12Wherefore it shall come to pass, ifH6118 ye hearkenH8085 to these judgmentsH4941, and keepH8104, and doH6213 them, that YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 shall keepH8104 unto thee the covenantH1285 and the mercyH2617 which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1:1 13And he will loveH157 thee, and blessH1288 thee, and multiplyH7235 thee: he will also blessH1288 the fruitH6529 of thy wombH990, and the fruitH6529 of thy landH127, thy grainH1715, and thy wineH8492, and thine oilH3323, the increaseH7698 of thy kineH504, and the flocksH6251 of thy sheepH6629, in the landH127 which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee. 14Thou shalt be blessedH1288 above all peopleH5971: there shall not be maleH6135 or female barrenH6135 among you, or among your cattleH929. 15And YhwhH3068 will take awayH5493 from thee all sicknessH2483, and will putH7760 none of the evilH7451 diseasesH4064 of EgyptH4714, which thou knowestH3045, upon thee; but will layH5414 them upon all them that hateH8130 thee.
