.Blessings for
Obedience
1 “And if
you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to
do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God
will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 And all these blessings shall
come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of
the Lord your God.
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall
you be in the field.
5 Blessed shall
be your basket and your kneading bowl.
6 Blessed shall
you be when you
come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
7 “The Lord will
cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall
come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
8 The Lord will
command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you
undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the Lord your
God is giving you.
9 The Lord will
establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep
the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you
are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of
you.
11 And the Lord will
make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit
of your livestock and in the
fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your
fathers to give you.
12 The Lord will
open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land
in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall
lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 And the Lord will
make you the head and not
the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments
of the Lord your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them,
14 and if you do
not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to
go after other gods to serve them.
Deuteronomy 28 English Standard Version (ESV)
