You will be blessed(S) in the city and blessed in the country.(T)

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.(U)

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.(V)

The Lord will grant that the enemies(W) who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.(X)
